macrumors G5
"Thinking different:" How about packing a Mac into a thin keyboard package, like the bottom half of a laptop (which is that right now)?
How about letting Goggles be a primary screen for that Mac, capable of delivering 1+ screens of any size to our eyes when someone might want to do work like they are using a laptop?
Put those 2 concepts together and, conceptually, one could pack goggles + this keyboard/computer combo instead of a traditional laptop. For those who can feel constrained at up to 16" screens on laptops, this could be a new kind of mobile computing option… with ANY size screen or even multiple screens.
Not long ago, I paired a 40" ultra wide with my new desktop Mac. I LOVE the added screen RE. When I use my MBpro, it feels so relatively cramped. If goggles could sub in for that cramped screen, I could have that desktop screen- or 2+ of them- with me whenever and wherever I wanted to work in a laptop-like way.
I paid more than 2/3rds of the rumored price of these goggles for that screen which will probably only be usable in that one spot over the entire life of that monitor. If Goggles could make that monitor virtually mobile, $3K- as rumored- sounds like a bargain to me.
But that's just one pile of wild speculation seeking a valid "use case" for this product. I'm in at $3K if it could deliver only this ONE thing. With this rumor, it sounds more like it COULD do that vs. prior goggle rumors.
