In contrast to another comment, I found this review rather over the top in romanticism. "Newly-shipped OSes just have a certain special something about them" - aka bugs. I get the reminiscing angle (though I think it's not the best thing to dwell on) but people should be asking whether they will use this device, and at its current weight and cost and (literal) hand-waving utility, it really doesn't seem very compelling to anyone but a VR/AR/3D enthusiast or a developer, unless maybe the virtual monitor experience becomes very good, but then comments on long term comfort are mixed.
I have a Quest Pro which I pull out from time to time, I don't regret the exploration opportunity, but this kind of device is currently just confining and awkward. The Vision Pro is even heavier, with their questionable use of aluminum it really seems they target collectors rather than comfort, which is odd in an age of e-waste consciousness. For many people, it basically seems like a "treat" for those with excess wealth since nobody really describes it as useful like a computer or phone.
I have no doubt Apple (among others) anticipates a world where super high resolution sensor laden headsets are lightweight and much less expensive. It really seems more sensible as a peripheral, though I know that goes against their DNA as one device for every category.
