    He was against Apple Vision Pro and the Apple Car, while reportedly the MacBook Neo was his idea. Small sample size, but encouraging nonetheless.

      Against the Vision Pro? Or did they just want it to bake longer? I think we can all see how that needs a second revision hardware wise. (Lighter, etc.)

        The problem is that it’s just fundamentally not compelling. They failed at selling VR/AR as a non-gaming platform. I can’t imagine wanting to use VR for anything but gaming, and it was especially handicapped for that purpose not being able to be optionally tethered to a MacBook for games.

          I have been using my AVPs when I’m writing code. The virtual display is amazing. I like massive display. And being able to toggle size very quickly.

          I also like that at the same time I have a screen with jellyfin and some other aesthetics wherever in my field of view. The only thing I would change is the weight. I would get an upgrade with if they make it significantly lighter, the faster chip and WiFi 7.
