I am completely convinced that AR-style extended reality is the thing that can someday replace desktop computing for a lot of people, if it is not hobbled by poor management and ecosystem decisions before it gets there. Keep your physical keyboard and trackpad, but virtualize your monitors and your macOS environment. If Apple's headset really is on a path, however many years away, towards becoming traditional glasses, this all seems inevitable. Perhaps eventually you won't even need the glasses
@stroughtonsmith what do you think are the odds that this will be able to run Xcode/terminal and replace a laptop? That'd be worth £3k with no further convincing. A huge virtual display and ability to use existing bluetooth keyboards/trackpads is 🤩 even without the AR/VR gimmicks.
@stroughtonsmith in other words, I think you're absolutely right that it would be the ideal future, but I'll also be amazed if Apple doesn't neuter it with an iOS-style locked down system.
