Full review
The L1 Pro is one of the lightest Full HD projectors in this group at 0.875 kg, which makes it easy to move from room to room or pack for a trip. It claims 240 ISO lumens, so it needs a darkened room, but at sensible sizes of 60 to 100 inches the picture is fine for films and series in the evening.
Resolution is native 1080p, and the maker's FAQ says it accepts a 4K signal and scales it down. Auto focus and auto keystone correction mean you can place it on a table at roughly 1.5 to 4 metres from the wall and have a usable image within seconds. Yaber says it boots to an image in under 15 seconds, and fan noise is quoted at about 32 dB.
The software is Linux-based with officially licensed Netflix plus Prime Video, YouTube and Disney+. That covers the main services, though the app range is narrower than Google TV. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are included, and the physical connections are one HDMI, one USB 2.0 and a 3.5 mm audio output.
Sound is the weak spot: there is a single speaker, and the maker's page is inconsistent about whether it is 5 W or 8 W. Either way it is mono, so a Bluetooth or wired speaker is a good idea. HDR, throw ratio and input lag are not stated. It is a simple, portable option for casual viewing rather than a performance pick.

Spec check note: The maker's page is inconsistent on speaker output: the spec table says one 5 W speaker, while the FAQ and marketing say 8 W. We show both. Brightness is given as 240 ANSI lumens (typical) in one place and 240 ISO lumens in another; we used ISO as listed in the spec table. Price is the Yaber EU store sale price on 2 Nov 2026; list price €299.
