A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I could see using this as a replacement for a monitor, keyboard & mouse. The resolution is there unlike in other VR headsets to date, and the eye tracking and other controls seem slick. The price tag is high, but considering the tech in this thing, understandable.
Of course comparisons to the iPhone abound, but the iPhone launched as sort of a "better Blackberry" at a starting price of $500. The world was more than ready for it, and Apple's timing was perfect. I'm not sure you can say the same for XR.
It kind of replaces a whole laptop. You have a whole M2 chip in that.
