what's the virtual desktop on a plane situation you're describing ? i thought it needed airlink to a local computer or a really fast internet connection to a remote computer but maybe i'm not up to date

if the vision pro gives me a laptop-mac experience in vr without needing a separate computer with me, that's a pretty compelling use case to me



You should be able to use the headset alone as a "ipad pro" experience, computing power.

And you should be able to have your separate computer, with the lid closed, and it still be running, projecting its desktop inside the headset.

(based upon today's videos)


gotcha thanks, i didn't catch all of the presentation and only now getting around to reading the recaps

will be interesting to see what's possible in their os for it vs macos or ios


The Vision Pro has 2 hours of battery life. You're not exactly going to replace your laptop with it.


good point it's got a custom connector to the headset but hoping that it'll be possible to use a bigger battery pack or seat power outlets/usb will provide enough to keep it going longer than 2 hours
