    This is exactly my experience. I love my AVP, travel a lot, it’s awesome on the road and I enjoy using it at home as well. The last time I was this excited by a computer was the Ne…

    “It's your own atelier in a box. Go be Leonardo.” So well put. 100% agree. Paraphrasing Steve Jobs I think of it as a mech suit for the mind.

    +1 for MacWhisper. Very full featured, nice that it's a one time purchase, and the developer is constantly improving it.

    +1 for Readwise. I moved to their Reader app from Pocket long ago and never looked back. The app goes from strength to strength and the Readwise team also does a great job engaging…

    Agreed. The AVP works so well as an external monitor. I use it a lot while traveling but I’ve found myself preferring it even at home. Comfort during long sessions can be a challen…

    Very well put. I agree with you, and yet I still wouldn’t give up using my Vision Pro. Though I hope I’ll be able to draw the line at the Apple NosePods ;-)

    Yes, I do. I use it a ton when on the road, see [0] but I wasn't sure how much I'd use it at home. Turns out that I'll typically be at my standing desk for some / most of the morni…

    Hopefully my answer to your other comment makes sense. If not, let me know! (I do programming, trading, consulting). EDIT: Thought of one more thing... Immersive environments also …

    Sure. I'm still learning how to best use it but I'll take 360 8K pics of events, interesting locations, etc. Sometimes as alternatives to panoramas. Downsides are poor low light pe…

    Large 4k virtual screen is what makes me more productive vs my laptop screen. I'll often have charts, etc. on a massive Safari "window" next to the virtual Mac screen, which is use…

    Yes, but a while back. I settled on Scaniverse for 3 reasons: It worked well, it had a high App Store rating, and no in-app purchases. A couple years on, it still works great and g…

    Just to clarify: I scan things with my iPhone, not the AVP. It takes a little longer because you're, for instance, walking all around a sculpture but it's really not a problem. In …

    Interesting question. I don't think so. More just different facets of the device. I expected good productivity, and I expected to enjoy consuming content in the AVP. The changes in…

    Yes, almost every day. I travel regularly and I love having a big, crisp, private display every where I am: Hotel, plane, train. Makes me so much more productive. Consuming content…

    Human, vol 1-3 [1] Watch it for the mesmerizing aerial footage of parts of the earth you’ve never seen before. More importantly, watch it to hear people from around the world, of m…
