I’ve been using mine daily for a while now. My primary use case has been as the ultimate portable media consumption device while doing chores. When I get home from work, usually an hour and change before my wife due to slightly different schedules, I put on the Vision Pro, start watching some...

Ditto all around. TR workstation for home stuff and games, M3 Max 16” for work and carry-around, and a bunch of virtualized Linux containers for various server apps. iPhones and iPads but also various Android devices. A complicated mix of HomeKit, Alexa and Google stuff. Subscription to GPT...

Nobody is stopping you.

This is definitely not true. I think people have forgotten iPhone with its pokey performance and 2g radio. Was it an amazing peek into the future and sign of things to come? Yes. Was it ideal out of the box? Not a chance. It was two generations later with the 3GS, with a faster modem and...

Agreed. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I do see that glare as well, and I can’t help but wonder how much better this would be with say another 15 degrees of FOV. That said, the pipeline and software is the killer differentiator here, like multitouch on the first iPhone, and like the iPhone...

I noticed SAP and other clients in the App Store.

I played a bit more and can answer a bit more. In a word, mixed. For example, there is a fruit ninja game. Some elements about it are mind blowing. For example, when you chop a fruit, it leaves colorful, vivid splatter… on a random surface… the carpet at my feet, dripping from the coffee...

I’ve watched a couple of two hour movies with it now and it’s not too bad. That said, we’re not in complete disagreement. I would not get rid of any of our televisions since beyond a movie my eyes and face are too tired to continue. And, usually I’m watching movies or television with my wife...

It’s a pricey toy for certain. On top of the 1TB there is AppleCare (strongly recommended for something this expensive), the Zeiss inserts and $200 case which is definitely the largest and puffiest carrying case for an electronic device that I’ve ever seen or used. (It works well, although I’m...

Hard to say. I don’t think it’s comfortable enough to replace televisions in its current state. Rather, what it gives you is the ability to simply drop a 90” state of the art OLED anywhere you want, for 30 minutes to 2 hours or so. In terms of work and productivity, I put in a few hours...

It’s a superlative solo movie watching experience in my opinion. What I’m really liking is the ability to do work while having a large television positioned wherever I want it. Having an impromptu movie theater whenever I’m doing dishes, folding laundry, cooking, watering plants etc. is quite...

Not sure yet - I haven’t tried many (well, any) VR games yet. I tried some slower paced puzzle games for which hand lag was a non-issue and surprisingly intuitive - e.g. I was reaching for things with my hands, and just pulling them toward me and positioning them - but I don’t think that would...

A few more observations: 1. The FOV is not outstanding, but the resolution and latency are so outstanding that I don’t necessarily feel like it’s compromised. 2. This is hands down the best single-person movie watching device I have experienced. I have a 77” LG G3 and prefer this for movies...

Well, after a few hours with mine, I am… stunned. This is in some ways the single most impressive visualization device that I’ve ever used. Its ability to lock objects in place is simply amazing. I can use my phone, wash dishes or read books while wearing this - the resolution is that good. It...

This is an artifact of how compensation works for large tech here in the Bay Area. Let’s say hypothetically you join and the starting package includes restricted stock in the $300k range that vests over say 4 years. If the vesting schedule were say twice a year, then you’d get $300k/8 = $32.5k...
