Which is better for watching movies?

The Happrun, if you have a dark room and a wall or screen. It gives a much larger image than an 11-inch tablet. The iPad Pro is better for watching in bed or on a plane.

Which is better for drawing and notes?

The iPad Pro. It supports Apple Pencil and has a 120Hz screen, which the projector cannot match. The Happrun has no pen input.

Is the iPad Pro worth the extra money?

It depends on use. The iPad Pro is a full computer-like tablet with a battery and cellular data. The Happrun is a $199.99 movie projector. They do different jobs, so compare against what you need, not just the price.

The Happrun is new, so it starts with a full lifespan. The iPad Pro is restored and its battery has already aged, so expect to replace the battery sooner. Projector lamps and fans also wear over time.

Can the Happrun replace a TV?

For casual movie nights in a dark room, yes. In a bright room, 1,500 ANSI lumens will look washed out. The iPad Pro is not a TV replacement either.

Do I need Wi-Fi for either?

The iPad Pro has cellular, so it works without Wi-Fi with a data plan. The Happrun needs Wi-Fi for streaming apps, though HDMI and USB work offline.
