And I was using the vision pro and I was using Mac virtual display. And I agree that the ultra wide, while incredibly novel is generally speaking just too much, especially since like the menu bar runs the entire width of the display. You know, if you think about the way it is on my desktop display,

And I was using the vision pro and I was using Mac virtual display. And I agree that the ultra wide, while incredibly novel is generally speaking just too much, especially since like the menu bar runs the entire width of the display. You know, if you think about the way it is on my desktop display,

On my desktop at home, or my laptop desktop at home, I have three different displays, so they each get a menu bar, and I can use the dock on any of them, right? And it'll be centered, the dock will be centered at the bottom of each individual display, and the menu bar is effectively repeated across each of these three displays.

on the ultra wide it's just one freaking huge display that like you said earlier something like 90 or 120 degrees of your vision so if you need to find the menu bar you got to crane your turn your head all the way to the left to go find it and i don't mean to imply that it's a burden but it's it's striking right um i think the ultra wide is a bit too much but the wide is incredible and

And I got a lot of work done with this on. Now, granted, the comfort, I think I've actually, while I was sitting there, I ordered one of the $50 Belkin headstrap things that I should have ordered a while ago. And apparently my local store doesn't have in stock, which was a bummer. I was literally going to drive home by the Apple store to grab one of them, but it was not in stock.

So leaving the comfort behind or aside for a It was so incredible to be able to have all of this real estate, and it's all right there. I'm in this little closet of a room, and I have effectively a Pro Display XDR, maybe not literally, but effectively a Pro Display XDR right in front of me. It was phenomenal. And not only that, but I could put music, the music app, above the display.

So I'm using the native Vision OS music app That's in 3D space above my ultra wide display, or excuse me, my wide display or whatever. It was so amazing. So over the last few years, what I've really wanted to do, and this started especially during COVID, is I want to be able to work wherever I want to work, right? And leave aside the Vision Pro for a second.

Just in general, I want to work wherever I want to work. And when I entered the pandemic, when we all entered the pandemic in 2020, if I'm not mistaken, I still had an iMac Pro and a very serviceable 13-inch MacBook Pro. And over time, I feel like we are answering more and more, or Apple is answering more and more questions. So I was thinking about this.

And over time, I feel like we are answering more and more, or Apple is answering more and more questions. So I was thinking about this.

The first question is, can I take my computer with me? And that's a solved problem, right? If you want to take your computer with you, you can just get a laptop. That is not up for grabs. We've solved this problem for 30, 40 years now or something like that. Not a big deal. The second problem is, can I power it? And that isn't much of a problem, generally speaking.

If you go to a library or something like that, typically you can plug into power. But even if you can't, you can always bring like a USB-C battery or something like that to give you another hour or two. There's plenty of ways that you can solve this problem. So neither of these are really new problems or really that terribly interesting.

But where things got interesting, I think, was starting in around 2020 with Apple Silicon. And when Apple answered the question, can I get my work done on it? And that started in 2020 with Apple Silicon. Because now the computer that is portable, that I can pick up and walk away with, is just as powerful, if not more powerful, than that iMac Pro that was sitting on my desk.
