I actually really enjoy mine, and having fun learning how to do iOS/VR development. That being said, until it can run MacOS apps I can't really replace my laptop (instead have to connect it to the AVP). Assuming that's a software limitation and not something that requires upgraded hardware I hope they plan to release that functionality soon
- dwaite 3y agoIt is highly unlikely that iPads or AVP will ever natively run Mac apps. At best, you would be able to run MacOS as a VM with some clever maintenance/windowing/storage tweaks.
- eddieroger 3y agoI do, too, and agree with what you're saying. This device is great if you can afford to drop the cash on it and have use cases for which it excels. I would love it to run Mac apps, but am just as happy projecting my Mac to it. Content consumption is great on it, and I really enjoy working with it on. If only my coworkers didn't find my ghostly Persona do off-putting during Zoom calls.
- snapcaster 3y agoI do use projecting the mac, but it's not a great experience overall. Like it doesn't utilize any of the AVP interaction paradigms and if I want to use a keyboard I have to decide to hook it up to my mac or my AVP
- layer8 3y agoApple wants you to buy both (as with the iPad), and maybe more importantly wants the OS of new device categories to be much less open (more controllable) than macOS is. So that’s very unlikely.
- snapcaster 3y agoI mean, i'm all in on apple and have all that stuff. Would be fine if it's up offloading compute to a mac or something like that and make the integration more seamless
- haunter 3y ago> until it can run MacOS apps I can't really replace my laptop I remember the same comments when the iPad came out 14 years ago Hint: never gonna happen
- snapcaster 3y agoI was one of the people saying that haha, a man can dream right?
