What you need to know

XGIMI has launched a new 4K Ultra Short Throw laser projector.
The new XGIMI Aura is HDR10 compatible and can project up to 150 inches.
It is priced at $2,499 in the U.S.

Chinese smart projector brand XGIMI has introduced its first-ever laser projector. The new XGIMI Aura is an ultra short-throw projector that requires just 8 inches of space to display at 100 inches. It can achieve its maximum display size of 150 inches from 17.3-inches away.

The UST projector can display at 4K resolution with support for HDR10 and peak brightness of 2,400 lumens, which is higher than even the best Android TVs.

Like the XGIMI Halo+, the new Aura runs Android TV 10 out of the box. This means you can watch content from popular streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ without any external hardware. It comes with built-in Chromecast as well, enabling seamless casting. The XGIMI Aura also has three HDMI ports for easy connectivity to external devices such as Blu-ray players and video game consoles.

To help users "find the perfect picture," the Aura offers eight-point keystone and manual focus corrections. Along with delivering an impressive picture, the projector also promises an immersive audio experience thanks to a 60W Harman Kardon audio system with Dolby Audio support, two tweeters, and two subwoofers. XGIMI claims the speakers are so good that they can be used as a soundbar when you're not using the Aura to watch content.

The XGIMI Aura 4K UST laser projector is now available to purchase in the U.S. for $2,499. While it is only available from the company's online store right now, you'll soon be able to buy it from Amazon as well.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
