With all the power and price of Vision Pro not sure why you even need a Macbook to do it at the first place. Can’t it do it from its own hardware plus wireless keyboard and mouse
It's a great idea, then you could get a top case to cover/protect the keyboard. Then maybe put a screen on that part too so you can use it without having to put the headset on all the time.
@allanwernermusic because it can be used with any AR/VR glasses/headset. And if you have AR glasses you could get a broken laptop for like under a $100
This actually kinda is a proof of concept for my idea of a desk setup that just is a desk with a keyboard, mouse, a Mac Studio, speakers, and a Vision Pro. No monitors. Gonna be sick once Vision Pro 2 or whatever can do multiple Mac monitors.
@@SpirusFilms Too DIY and fixed for me personally, but would make for a cool TH-cam video. I'd rather a MacBook in a doc or Mac Studio and a separate keyboard and mouse personally.

With cloud computing you could ditch the Mac Studio, which is also quite "stationary". Just Vision Pro + Keyboard + Mouse / Trackpad and you can turn any flat surface into a 3-monitor office space!

I wish you would have mentioned TWO very important thing ma about this project before I actually did it.. all Macbook’s after 2018 will power on if you press Any key or trackpad. I did this project with my 2020 MacBook Air and now I can’t put it in my sleeve and travel with it, because it will turn on everytime. Just FYI before you start this project. Get a 2017 or older. I use mine with luna display. Also the display houses the sensor that tells your keyboard when it should be backlight, and how bright.. which is now gone, along with the backlight.

It is practical. You are halfing the size of the MacBook. Making the whole setup even more portable. Whilst simultaneously removing the ugly black screen that gets in the way of your display.
I'd want a different form factor. Who's that one guy who does all the kit bash things like the portable PS5? He should do one with a Mac mini, Magic Trackpad, and a nice keyboard plus a decent sized battery.
The humor is absolutely on point Luke. One of the best laughs I’ve had for as long as I can remember. That commercial 😂😂😂 and the “display is massive… not the first time that’s been said” was pretty good too! Keep it up
This was actually one of my thoughts while watching VP connect to macbooks. Because once connected, it kinda sucks that the physical display is useless but you still need the keyboard and trackpad. But if you could remove the physical screen, then no waste. Honestly really cool and i think would be a good use scenario in like a version 2 or 3 or the regular consumer version down the line. Most ppl dont need a laptop all the time but the few times we do, just to connect to it with a “display” you already use would be cool. Like if iphones could dock with a headset and offer the same software and fidelity that vision pro does. but then when you wanna use a macbook you just “look” at it and connect.
Hmm it would be cool if you could sorta make a magnetic display thing. so when you need the inbuilt display you have it but when you want a large tv exp, you can just yeet the display off.
The stupidest thing is that this could be achieved with a just a keyboard/trackpad, since the Vision Pro also has the M2 inside. However, Apple decided that their 3500 dollar "spatial computer" should only run ipadOS. Imagine a desktop-mode that would be basically just like connecting a MacBook. There is basically nothing in terms of hardware stopping them.
This isn't stupid at all, it's actually brilliant and I wouldn't be surprised if it were to become part of the future of computing eventually. First, it completely eliminates the necessity of a screen (obviously) then it frees the user from the limitations of size and placement. My only thoughts would be does the resolution compared to that of the original screen? Is it as clear and crisp, the colors and contrast comparable? For those who use their machines for image production whether still or video, these things would be important. The next question is the reality of expense. The VR is expensive far beyond the average user's pocketbook unless (like most Americans) being willing to go into debt and chain themselves to a lousy job as a result. I mean, after all... we're just talking about things here and we do this for far less important things.
why this video has 476K views and only 16k likes, dude common, why you don't click on like? why? just because you can ! is that so much for you to do this little thing for this super guy ?
This was an awesome video Luke! And you’re hilarious (“not the first time that’s been said!”) Super glad to see you uploading more often again. And maybe you just gave me a great idea for a new use of my old 2016 MacBook Pro with a damaged display…
I know this is cool and I think it is but better idea... How about keep MacBook screen but put it the side and wait for it... USE PERIPHERALS!!!!! Nah jk but still cool, you put a lot of effort into this. Good Job!😂
For 3500, the vision pro should at least run the full operating system itself as like an app. Like damn, that's a 3500 iPad you can't do anything with other than say you have it
I’m actually surprised this hasn’t been considered yet! Consider having a keyboard line that has the computer embedded inside - heck maybe even a mechanical keyboard line. And then, even without the Vision Pro, you could still traditionally connect it to an external display but perhaps in the same vein as the Vision Pro (wireless display) making for an even more minimal office layout! Maybe it could turn into a new off-branch of the Mac Mini line 🤔
Watch Apple start selling screenless MacBooks, call it something like the Magic laptop or Magic keyboard, and then sell it for double the price of a MacBook.
This is exactly the first thing I thought to do when I found out the Vision Pro could be used as a virtual display for Macs. I love that you made my idea a reality! And the laptop isn’t useless if you don’t have a Vision device, you can still use it with a display at your desk if you want. Then when you get a Vision device (hopefully the cheaper Air won’t take too long) you can make the laptop portable again. Super cool!
Totally useless Fruit product that cost too expensive. Imagine the monitor you could buy for $4k (well, if you didn't buy the overpriced garbage from the Fruit company). Thankfully I am not infected with Fruit ecosystem conjob disease. Normally I find you to be the most rational Fruit fly, but even you cannot resist the Fruit conjob.
Luke is ok, hes just trying to present the technology as it stands. Problem is that this is a perfect device to control impressionable minds and I am sure the chinese government is working on that right now. This is the real story. Cheers
This is a good idea for the future, I've seen many screen less MacBook Pro Retina with a monitor, but with the time when this get cheaper will be a great option, also, the commercial part was so funny!
in my country the vision pro is almost 6000 dollars, a quest 3 is ~1000 dollars in my country and virtual desktop is 40 bucks, so... 1040 dollars vs for basically the same result but on any computer not just a poopy mac and its 5000 dollars cheaper (apple vision pro is a waste of money and materials)
Great idea for my 2017 "FlexGate" MacBook Pro. My screen is almost unusable and it's hardly worth spending the $$ for a replacement display, so why not use it with the Vision Pro? In fact, there may be a whole new market for old MacBooks with serious display issues. My question is, is there a compatible MacOS that will work with the 2017/24 Mac/Vision Pro?
Love it! Considering doing it! Question #1 - Be great to know how much longer the MacBook's battery lasts, playing video in Vision, without its hardware screen, vs. playing video on its hardware screen. #2 - Wouldn't it be great if you could select higher than MacBook screen resolution? And have a huge virtual screen in Vision be curved around you? Boom!
You think if Apple didn’t release Apple Vision Pro and the screen on your MacBook is broken, you would have to buy a whole new laptop? That’s wrong, because the screen on a MacBook can be replaced.
Get a magnetic hinge attached to the top, use an ipad 12.9” that can detach and then trace a flat usb c cable to it/ get the astropad luna display. Touch screen when you want, floating screen when you dont.
This is very cool... I would probably do it also, seems only logical, and fun... I love to modify stuff... I got a Asus zephyrus last year, and within an hour I ripped out w*****s and replaced it with a Linux system, always do it, no matter if it's a 3000$ laptop or something I found in a dumpster, I'm a Linux man, and that's the only reason why I don't have a M3 mac now, I might get one soon, but I can't afford it right now, too expensive... I do 3D modeling and animations on Blender, so I need lots of GPU power and RAM... Anyway, nice video, very good lightweight solution for a big screen :)
my friend gave me his 2018 17" Headlesss MacBook Pro, and if I had Vision Pro, that would be perfect. But i'm also not going to spend $3,000 on a device just to make another device work lol. Might as well just buy a macbook pro M3
How do you deal with having it in your backpack when any key press turns the machine on? I know without a display, the main battery drain was the display which is non-existent. Best solution I can imagine is some sort of hard shell case contraption that prevents the keys from being pressed. Curious to know if anyone has a workaround for this?
headless laptop is a GREAT IDEA.. i have a 15inc laptop and i didny use its screen almost never.. only if there is a electiric cutout i use it for 1 or 2 hours max.. so i always use my externalş monitor connected to the laptop.. it is 29 inc big ultrawide screen.. so i definitey support laptops withour screens
That's the future. When in a couple years VR/AR is so advanced that we don't need to wear giant headpieces to access them our world will slowy be filled by digital signs and interactibles that will automatically connect with our headsets...
If this can be done with a quest 3 or 2 i could see many people buying a headset instead of replacing a 500$ busted display. Loss of the display is also going to **DRASTICLY** increase battery life
I think it's a great solution for MacBooks with broken displays. Or, if you wanted a cheap Mac and purchased one off eBay with a broken display to be used on your Vision Pro. But I wouldn't remove a display off a functioning MacBook, it just doesn't make sense.
Truth is, laptops are overrated (and just a fashion for a decade or three). I'm an '80s PC/Mac user who grew up with desktops and screens that were much bigger than a keyboard. Well done -- you're facing the reality, using VR.

my friend gave me his 2018 17" Headlesss MacBook Pro, and if I had Vision Pro, that would be perfect. But i'm also not going to spend $3,000 on a device just to make another device work lol. Might as well just buy a macbook pro M3
This would work well with a Mac Mini even.
DONT DO THIS DONT DONT BUY EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS AND FUCK IT UP
How do you deal with having it in your backpack when any key press turns the machine on? I know without a display, the main battery drain was the display which is non-existent. Best solution I can imagine is some sort of hard shell case contraption that prevents the keys from being pressed. Curious to know if anyone has a workaround for this?
headless laptop is a GREAT IDEA.. i have a 15inc laptop and i didny use its screen almost never.. only if there is a electiric cutout i use it for 1 or 2 hours max..
so i always use my externalş monitor connected to the laptop.. it is 29 inc big ultrawide screen.. so i definitey support laptops withour screens
YOU CAN'T CRACK A SCREEN THAT ISN'T THERE 😂😂😂
That's the future. When in a couple years VR/AR is so advanced that we don't need to wear giant headpieces to access them our world will slowy be filled by digital signs and interactibles that will automatically connect with our headsets...
If this can be done with a quest 3 or 2 i could see many people buying a headset instead of replacing a 500$ busted display. Loss of the display is also going to **DRASTICLY** increase battery life
I think it's a great solution for MacBooks with broken displays. Or, if you wanted a cheap Mac and purchased one off eBay with a broken display to be used on your Vision Pro. But I wouldn't remove a display off a functioning MacBook, it just doesn't make sense.
Truth is, laptops are overrated (and just a fashion for a decade or three). I'm an '80s PC/Mac user who grew up with desktops and screens that were much bigger than a keyboard. Well done -- you're facing the reality, using VR.
