The last time Apple introduced a new general purpose computing device was the iPad, 14 years ago. This one just doesn’t feel as big. When the iPad was introduced, everyone was shocked by the very low price and the sleek form factor compared to previous Windows tablet devices. Those are exactly the weak points of the Vision Pro: it’s very expensive and very heavy, according to reports. The hands-on sessions that Apple…

I use the Quest 3 for this and it works really well (I have a m1 mbp).

I use the Immersed app and I'm able to code for 3-4 hours a day with the headset.
