      Norm from Tested on yt had good things to say after his hands-on with the headset iirc a while back. This is just the price of a flagship VR device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        For $3500 it better be good. But I doubt the value is added linearly since you get a pretty decent vr headset for under $800

          Totally agree.

          Relatedly, I think people would be surprised how little the Apple Tax really is when accounting for specs and performance. That said I’m sure the margin is quite a bit higher on this device than an mbp. It’s very clearly not positioned for consumers but for businesses and bleeding edge enthusiasts

      OK, but that doesn’t make it affordable or relevant.

      It’s like comparing a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. It doesn’t matter because the world runs on Toyota Corollas.

      Additionally, VR lives and dies on software.

        I mean, it may not make a difference to you, but it makes a difference to people who are into Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
