>The whole point of Vision Pro like devices is you wear your computer on your face always with you and the only peripherals you need are your eyes and hands also always on you. Clearly not, as the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad are well integrated (as is just using your laptop trackpad and keyboard). It's akin to using a keyboard folio with an iPad. It's a fully usable product without it and tons go without, but the keyboard folio definitely unlocks additional potential. The Ibiza-appeal would be that you can have a small backpack of stuff that lets you reach full productivity on the beach. I can't carry monitors the size I'm able to pop in on the AVP. To answer your question downwind, is it the same as like, an ergonomic desk set up? Nah. But it's pretty cool and surprisingly usable in many cases (this tricky spreadsheet is notable for not).

>I can't carry monitors the size I'm able to pop in on the AVP. But will you also bring a mouse and keyboard with you to the beach with your AVP for work on the soun lounger? I'd love to see that. Hell I'd actually pay good money to see that. "Ladies and gentleman, come to see our latest attraction, today for your eyes only, feast your eyes on the 'techbro at the beach'. Please, no flash photography and no knocking on the glass."

  > to the beach I think it's pretty clear that "the beach" here means your hotel room/airbnb. You wouldn't usually travel with your monitors, so you'd be stuck with your 14" screen. That's the use case this is addressing.

    >I think it's pretty clear that "the beach" here means your hotel room/airbnb. Does it? In my mother tongue "to the beach" means the place with sand and water, not the accommodation.

      That's not the place to bring your Apple Vision Pro.

      It’s the same beach as in the sentence “We stayed on the beach in Miami”. When someone says that phrase in English they mean staying in an accommodation that is located or fronted by a beach. Not that they were camping sleeping on sand dunes in a sleeping bag

        Native Australian English speaker here: I would 100% interpret that as they camped on the beach because that’s an option at some places here. Goes to show how it’s cultural I guess.

        Wow, yeah. But if you imagine it said in a fancy accent by someone holding a stack of bills totaling $4000USD does it change the meaning? “On the beach” has to be in very posh accent.

    Yes but also yes. Depends on who you are and what you want to do. I've personally been using mine at home and it's been a genuine useful addition to my work from bed and work from couch routine, where I'd otherwise just be on a laptop. That would definitely apply to travel, as well. But also, I think it probably would work well for hammock beach working in Ibiza. The biggest issue seems like it would be tan lines, getting bullied for being a giant Nerd, and your spouse/wallet killing you for buying a $3-4k headset and an Ibiza vacation.

    Those usb c powered travel monitors are pretty handy.

    Usb c extra monitors are very cheap nowadays.

      I was downvoted so to clarify: portable usb-c monitors that have a foldable stand that doubles as a screen cover. Thin, cheap and easy to take along with your laptop.

  It's only the Vision Pro and my luminescent shirtless body that are particularly garish by modern standards. More realistically (if you were to do this today), rather than pulling out a tv tray to give yourself a nice setup for a trackpad and keyboard, you'd be bringing your work laptop and connecting with that, which isn't super notable. You'll also have a really interesting tan line...
