For me the main value add over a laptop is ergonomics in some situations. If at a desk or table a portable laptop stand can also address this, but that won’t work in an airplane or while lounging, both of which are situations where craning one’s neck down to see the screen is fatiguing.
That alone probably isn’t worth the cost for most but I could see people buying future cheaper versions for this purpose.
- wilg 3y agoFor me I have no real issue using the MacBook Pro 16" on a plane, in bed, on a couch, at a desk, etc. Much more ergonomic than AVP for every use case I've tried. (Laying in bed is especially bad with AVP). I’m sure some people will prefer it though.
- jwells89 3y agoI can do the same machine (MBP 16”) for about 30m on a plane or couch before my neck/shoulders start bugging me (not severely, but enough to notice and act as early warning for further problems). Can go for longer sitting up in bed but have to shift between legs flat and legs folded supporting laptop frequently. AVP on the other hand feels more like sitting at my desk with 27” monitor centered just below eye level which is easier to keep up. I have to use the cross-strap though, the solo knit band isn’t great for long term usage.
