It's the best display I've ever had in terms of screen "size" and quality balanced against each other, and it's the default I gravitate towards for movie watching, game streaming, etc, as well as occasional hobbyist things like writing (the environment knob is remarkably good for helping with focus, at least for my ADHD brain). Once there's a version of Virtual Desktop (a local wifi VR streaming app) available for it I'm sure it will also be the best VR headset I've ever used, at least for short sessions.
With that said, I haven't used it for non-hobbyist productive things because the weight and (more importantly) the really bad head strap design makes it awful for use in a sitting-up position for long. I feel like that comfort factor what drags it down most. The passthrough quality and UX stability is 100% there already to be fine wearing it for several hours at a time, including while doing unrelated tasks, if only it was actually comfortable enough for that.
For constrast, see the designs that companies like BOBOVR make for other headsets like the Quest 3 - https://www.bobovr.com/products/bobovr-m3-pro https://www.bobovr.com/products/bobovr-m3-pro - which look bulky and silly but are perfectly comfortable for long high-activity VR sessions because of the fundamentally better design, even though they add extra battery weight to the headset itself.
