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.

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.
