Don't overthink it. Vision Pro is easily worth $3500 alone just for watching 2D movies and TV and sports on a virtual high-res enormous screen. If Apple can *also* offer 3D live sports and compelling original 3D content and games, they won't be able to make them fast enough to keep up with demand at $3500.
$3500 is a bargain for what Vision Pro offers.
@gruber I want a desktop Mac with a Retina display. The Studio display is $2000 at my desired spec. I’d probably prefer a high spec Mac mini, which gets me up around $3299. Swapping to a base Mac Studio is $3999.
There are obviously options, like an iMac, but if Vision Pro truly boasts retina-level visuals, it seems a compelling option in the price range. Obviously depends on user needs, though. I don’t suppose it handles usb/usb-c peripherals like audio interfaces at V1.
