This is exactly my experience. I love my AVP, travel a lot, it’s awesome on the road and I enjoy using it at home as well. The last time I was this excited by a computer was the NeXT. No other device has fostered feelings of awe as the AVP.

“It's your own atelier in a box. Go be Leonardo.”

So well put. 100% agree. Paraphrasing Steve Jobs I think of it as a mech suit for the mind.

+1 for MacWhisper. Very full featured, nice that it's a one time purchase, and the developer is constantly improving it.

+1 for Readwise. I moved to their Reader app from Pocket long ago and never looked back. The app goes from strength to strength and the Readwise team also does a great job engaging with users.

Agreed. The AVP works so well as an external monitor. I use it a lot while traveling but I’ve found myself preferring it even at home. Comfort during long sessions can be a challenge. While I’m fine with Apple’s dual strap, my current setup is an Anapro forehead strap and no light shield. It does leave an unsightly mark on your forehead but I find it very comfortable and I like letting my face breathe.

Very well put. I agree with you, and yet I still wouldn’t give up using my Vision Pro. Though I hope I’ll be able to draw the line at the Apple NosePods ;-)

Yes, I do. I use it a ton when on the road, see [0] but I wasn't sure how much I'd use it at home.

Turns out that I'll typically be at my standing desk for some / most of the morning then move to the Vision Pro in another part of the apartment in the PM. I enjoy using the VP a lot, even after 8 months it still has a magical feel for me, but I also find that immersion is a great focus boost.

One recent app that sucked up a lot of "Vision Time" for me was Fly [1], which is basically Google Earth in the VP. Flying above 3D cities in particular is amazing and being able to dip into Street View to look around a location very cool.

Yup, it's heavy and not particularly comfortable, though I've long since grown accustomed to both, but if it broke I would likely buy another. It's that useful/enjoyable for me.
