The touchpad is mostly fine now though you could argue Apple laptops are still more responsive. It wasn't always the case.

This sounded weak to me. Apple is making an integrated headset: their own lenses, processor, ..., down to the operating system. The Quest uses an Android based operating system and a lot of off the shelf components. We've seen this sto
