And part of the reason why I returned to the full-time laptop lifestyle was because my MacBook Pro, my M1 Max MacBook Pro at the time, was considerably quicker than my iMac Pro. And my M3 Max MacBook Pro is considerably quicker than a lot of Apple desktops. And... I don't have to really make any compromises. It was such an incredibly freeing feeling.

If you're still on Intel, it is such an incredibly freeing feeling to know that you can take this incredibly powerful computer and just walk away with it. You can just buy a laptop and walk away with it. And you don't need a MacBook Pro to do that. As we've said many times, the MacBook Airs are also incredibly powerful computers that you can easily walk away with. It's unreal. And then...

So can I get my work done on it? Hell yeah, I can because they are so darn powerful. And Then the other thing, and this is where the Vision Pro comes in, is do I have the space to get my work done on it? And I mean screen real estate. A 13-inch laptop is not a fun way to get work done unless you're doing very, very basic stuff.

But typically, in the last couple of years, and I've talked about this on the show, I bought a 2K portable display, a bus-powered portable display. It is a piece of trash, but I love it because that gives me a second display that I can set next to my MacBook Pro. It's super thin, super light. It doesn't need a power supply. Like I said, it's bus powered. It's great.

And that would get me enough that I could do development work in a pinch on the go. It wasn't fun, but I could do it. With the Vision Pro... I can legitimately do my development work, and it might be a little less convenient than having my full array of three 5K displays, but not that much. The compromise, even with that spare physical 2K display, the compromise was still quite large.

But now, if you can leave aside the fact that you look like a frigging idiot...

the compromise is really not that much at all and in fact for most people that don't have 15ks sitting in front of them it's actually arguably better in the ultra wide display now i agree with marco i think ultra wide is actually too much but that's neither here nor there my point is just that i am now able to set up an entire workstation by way of a macbook pro and a vision pro

And I just think that is so incredibly cool. That is so cool that one of the things I can do, which I haven't done yet, but one of the things I could do is during the workday, if I feel like I'm just a little uncomfortable in my desk chair or what have you, I can go down to my couch and I can sit on my couch with my nerd goggles on my head and I can be doing work on my couch.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's almost as good as on my desk. And I just think, That is such an incredibly powerful, cool thing. And again, there's so many things I could say to poo-poo this. I'm talking about, what, $9,000 worth of hardware or something like that. It is an absolutely asinine amount of money that I'm talking about.

I said earlier the laptop was like $5,000, the Vision Pro was $3,500, plus the $400 developer strap went out like $9,000. That is bananas. But It is so incredibly cool to have that future, I was going to say in my hands, but also on my face today. And I think that that's so incredibly powerful. But here's where I'm going to drag Marco back in. Oh, no. You know what else is missing?
