617: An Incredibly Dangerous App

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.

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?

You know what the thing is that would really make this truly and incredibly, just perfectly portable? I can figure out power. I can figure out my display. But Marco, what do I not have yet? What is not internal to my MacBook Pro?

Internet. I cannot imagine how cool it will be when Apple finally one day, when I'm 95 years old, decides to put a cellular modem in this MacBook Pro. Because then, then, this literally could be used anywhere. Anywhere there's civilization. I'm sure there's an asterisk there, but you know what I'm saying. I could go to my beloved park bench slash picnic table. I could go wherever the hell.

I could be in the car in the passenger seat. I could be wherever. and I can have my MacBook Pro and my Vision Pro, and I can get work done damn near as well as I can do it on my desk. And whether or not you think that's a wise use of my money, whether or not you think it's a smart idea to put this nerd goggles on your face, it is so... It's powerful.
