Yes. I spend maybe half of the year (on average) away from home, traveling with my MacBook. I bought the Vision Pro to use as a portable display, and I’ve been extremely happy with it. I work in it about 8 hours per day whenever I’m away from my home office setup, and quite often even when I’m at home.

Having an enormous virtual screen is not the only benefit, I also feel that the immersion helps my focus. It’s easier to get into the zone than ever before. I remember someone describing the Vision Pro as the equivalent of noise-canceling headphones for the eyes, which is spot on. I suppose I am lucky that I don’t have any problems with the weight of the comfort, except on hot days.

I’ve been an Apple enthusiast since the 1980s, but I can’t even remember the last time I was as excited about an Apple product as I am about the Vision Pro. I hope it will survive, come down in price, and launch in more countries.

Have you tried a Quest 3 for similar purposes? Curious how they compare.

I've tried and it's okay with Virtual desktop but the resolution is like on the uncanny line of fine and not good enough.

The quest being much lighter makes it nice though (but you should buy a third party headstrap that doesn't suck)

I've not tried one. What are the drawbacks? eye strain? discomfort?

Can't imagine how strong your neck must be. For me, the weight alone is a deal breaker.

Why not have a battery externally, attached with a long cable?

Balance presumably.
