Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not::There’s a lot of pressure on the new Apple Vision Pro headset, which starts at $3,499 and marks the beginning of something called “spatial computing.” The ambition is enormous, but the Vision Pro also represents a series of really big tradeoffs.

I quite like the "virtual workspace" idea (that Apple didn't have first, but they are having a go at it).

But it's not really there yet, is it? The apps are mostly iPad apps, some obviously updated to take advantage of "spatial computing" (how Apple calls it) in very cool ways, but it's not like I can run a full-blown development environment on that thing. Even with a Mac you can only protect a flat screen into your "space".

Let's give it a few years and see where Apple takes this on a software level. I think the hardware is okay for a "gen 1" device, but it'll likely get lighter, faster, longer battery etc.
