My company-issued laptop isn't far off $3.5k. The tail end of AVP development and release was happening during the pandemic. I can absolutely imagine sane company execs who looked at the new remote work reality (at the time), and figured every single major enterprise would buy every one of their remote employees (all of them) an AVP.

- adastra22 1y agoAVP is just the display monitor though. For work you’d need to use th Mac Virtual Display denature to connect it to a MacBook or something.
- fastball 1y agoAn AVP is a fully-fledged computer. It has the same chip my Macbook Pro does.
- adastra22 1y agoBut you can't use it as one. It has a very small selection of native apps, and can of course run iPad apps in an emulation mode. That's it. Most of the people actually using it for daily work are using the Mac Virtual Display. I work on my couch or bed, touch typing on my MacBook while my entire vision is filled with a projected, wraparound virtual display. Immensely productive. But I'm basically coding on my MacBook while using a $3.5k external monitor, just in an unusual form factor.
