I was thinking about this exact setup! Then I realized I had a $200 budget. I settled on a second-hand 2017 macbook thing with a messed up backlight. Believe it or not, it actually does everything and more. I'm happy with my sad little laptop.
Hey Greg. I have really enjoyed all your AVP videos. While I will wait for a hopefully cheaper version 2, you are certainly helping me build my use cases for this product from a workflow and productivity perspective. Thanks and keep up the great work 😊
Great video. I agree about not having anxiety or social embarrassment using it in public. Laptops were weird when they first appeared out in the wild too. To be honest, some people embarrass themselves no matter what piece of tech they use. They still haven’t figured out the do’s and don’ts of phone etiquette. I think I would be more afraid of breaking it or theft.
No laptops were not weird when they came out. People alive then knew what a word processor was and a laptop was just a step above that. These on the other hand are unnecessary and ridiculous. I think it's funny that some think people will be wearing these in public. Yeah sure you're seeing that now, because the thieves haven't caught on yet. Having said that how many people have you seen bringing their laptops out in public anymore? Exactly. I don't even spend that much time on my devices that I would need to strap it to my head. My goal is to be more present in the world around me. Not always plugged in like I'm in The Matrix.
Can't wait for the next version of the vision pro to come out so maybe I can afford this one hope that Apple would drop the price on this version. Hi from Trinidad
The cable is supposed to be wrapped and secured using the strap battery strap. Makes it’s a cleaner look in the case. There is an example in the instructions that came with it.
Pro tip with buying a third party portable charger; its not just about wattage. The Apple battery pack dishes out something around 12-13 volts, which most portable chargers wont do. Pay attention to this if you want to know what your experience will be like.
I'm curious... will your portable AVP workstation work well on the side of the road or in a hotel parking lot? I mean, I could pull up next to a Macdonald's and work off their wifi, right? Trackpad and MKB in the car, with AVP strapped on...Video? :)
Is the Apple Vision travel case bigger than 3rd party cases? It looks huge. Too huge to fit in a backpack simultaneously with a MacBook. Images of 3rd party cases look smaller, but those are just images so I don't know what to expect from the actual product. Looks pretty tight inside of the Apple case.
Do you get used to foveated rendering/sharpness only at the things you're looking at? I've done the demo a couple of times, and am concerned that would be frustrating, but not sure if it's just something that you get desensitized to.
Maybe there’s context I’m missing, not having watched the whole video yet but… By-definition its intent is to go unnoticed. Why would you need to adjust to it outside of screen capturing?
@@westmcgee9320 -- Very possible -- during the demos, I noticed the periphery was blurry and dark, which came to find out from other video reviews that that's to be expected. I think adding that plus the foveated rendering makes it seem like a whole lot is blurry. I'm curious if that's something one gets used to with use (like a complete non-issue after a while), or if I'll notice it so much that after several weeks I won't be able to stand it, and then it's too late to return (which I definitely will do more demos before buying to avoid that situation).
@@hummersd maybe you’ve got some wider field of view or something that makes you able to see more than what they’ve rendered for you. Or maybe that you’re one/those were defective in some way. Including certainly see that being correctable via software update. I can only tell you that I do not perceive the FR at all. I’ve had nothing to get used to.
Why wouldn’t you put the screen cover on your AVP when it’s in the case? I go so far as leaving the cover on when I put it on and then remove it to protect the lens and to reduce smudges.
Hi question can you walk and wear one can you see better ,what about if you use reading glasses can you use them or do you need them .Can you record a video with them ?,they look great but the price scares me .
Great setup video. As someone who’s Vision Pro arrives in a matter of hours, and doesn’t have a MacBook, Apple needs to stop making this thing be like a peripheral for a MacBook (or vica versa) and bring Pro level apps to the AVP itself. It’s easily capable of running them. They have done the same with iPad Pro. I have a monster iPad, with an M4 chip, and yet, all the apps I can get for it, will run on the least powerful iPad. Better apps, and/or letting yo connect to iPad (like you can a MacBook) are things I hope are coming to this thing, or it will end up not being used.
Yall really need to try it before forming an opinion on it, just did a quick easy demo at the Apple Store and it’s incredible, if you’re passionate about the technology and get to experience before you drop a heavy some on that thing. Just knowing this thing is the worst this thing will ever be, there needs some obvious improvements (camera pass through 🤮, and the weight 😬) it’s an incredible piece of tech but definitely not for everyone
You bought the expensive case but the dirt cheap, lower grade Vision Pro? Who in their right mind gets the $3,500 version?? I have individual apps that take up more space than what your Vision Pro can hold. Just get the 1TB version. Doesn’t cost much more and it’s got much more storage.
That Apple case looks like a pillow. And a white one at that. Dirt magnet. Not buying it. :) i'm waiting on the Spigen, unless I can find a smaller one. Some of these are just too big to be called portable.
I don’t love that it’s white but its functionality is far more important. I simply put it in a bag which makes it hard to know what I’m carrying anyway.
Its very Cool! But if it was the 90’s you wouldnt make it to your car without getting jacked for that…lol Becareful out in public regardless if they couldnt use it if it gets stolen.. just means you got money!
I know you had to do this because it’s your job as a TH-camr, however, would you really do this at a cafe? It just seems more sensible to bring a MacBook Air, iPhone and be done with it.
So Vision Pro, plus Magic Keyboard plus Magic Mouse pad plus portable battery. Your “portable” work setup is not that portable anymore and costs about $4,000. I’ll pass.
2 or 3 of those would fit in the case and the rest aren’t that heavy or large. It’s plenty portable. You just wanted to stir some 💩 up. Mission accomplished.
I simply do not get it. Who is going to want to lug this stuff around. Is a laptop not more productive with its long battery life and portability? I do love the tech but find it kind of interesting how people are shoe-horning this product into their productivity flows. I cannot wait for this technology to evolve.
It's a novelty product and barely anyone has it, and barely anyone is going to buy it. The hype is coming from 3 types of people. The reviewers that got it for free. The early adopters that can't return it. So they are promoting it to make themselves feel better and get other people to buy it, because misery loves company. The third type of person is the noob that is easily dazzled by the hype around new tech. These are the types that often regret their purchases but they don't have the critical thinking skills to figure it out before they make a purchase. These people will say "I want this so bad" and argue with people over it, even though they don't own it yet.
Since his setup was based only on AVP, an iPad plus a portable monitor would have been able to do what he does more efficiently and costing less than half the price with a maxed out iPad Pro. I like AVP, it is an interesting proposition but still lacks real benefits compatible with its price range. For now it is a nice gimmick

Love my Vision Pro too! it helps me focus on what I am doing!!!
😂
Yeah sure 😂
Cognitive overload on steroids.
I can’t comment on the actual exp. But these reviewers are very brave walking around on these on their faces.

The need for a clock when you have an Apple Watch that will show up on your wrist even in full immersion is puzzling me. Just look at your watch... 🙂
It’s puzzling to me that you think everyone is always wearing a watch or that it’s always visible.
only greg and max tech manage do showcase ACTUAL PRACTICAL uses!
ps: dont u think the AVP would be the perfect opportunity to call back futur Greg?
Love your videos and yeah - AVP is fantastic !!! Totally on board
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Going to try the battery you picked out
Can't wait for the next version of the vision pro to come out so maybe I can afford this one hope that Apple would drop the price on this version. Hi from Trinidad
They can cut the price in half and I would still not be interested.
Does the AVP virtual keyboard have a Touch Bar?
The cable is supposed to be wrapped and secured using the strap battery strap. Makes it’s a cleaner look in the case. There is an example in the instructions that came with it.
The only case this needs is a puncture resistant bubble wrap pouch. Unplug the side pieces and stuff them in a zipper sleeve. Someone make this.
Pro tip with buying a third party portable charger; its not just about wattage. The Apple battery pack dishes out something around 12-13 volts, which most portable chargers wont do. Pay attention to this if you want to know what your experience will be like.
Can u edit directly on vision pro o using ms excel?
Great video
Does Touch ID work to authenticate when connected with Magic Keyboard and Vision Pro
OpticID just scans your eyes
@@AlexanderCaley Thx. I know.
That’s not a feature on the AVP so I think folks are confused about the context of your question.
Sweet
Living at the outer edge of technological advancement AND still uses Safari. What a juxtaposition.
3:37 I hate that space look, I’d so get an aftermarket black case

unplug the vision when its in the case unless you want a crack down the center bruh
and bro keep the cover on it while its in the case Jesus Christ lol
The reason I watch your videos is because you have the same appreciation for Apple Tech as I do
You and everyone that watches his videos

I mean a giant monitor and multiple apps are pretty great for being productive

@@westmcgee9320 the case only is the size of my backpack. Cool tech? It is. Portable? Approachable to most people? It’s not.
Pls sponser me one mobile
Man those wrinkles suck.
All of this seems so tedious to me, a MacBook with 2 4K screens seems so much more productive to me…
Using this in public is cringe central.
Nah. You’re just easily ashamed and embarrassed.
🤷🏾♂️
Am I the only one that is having trouble being interested in the apple vision pro?
No, I just don’t get it.
Nope,I couldn’t give a monkeys about it.I am skipping all the tech videos about it.I am sick of it.
Yes you’re the only one.
