Hi,
I had an AVP demo in Apple Store last weekend and quite honestly I was blown away. I don’t want to sound over the top but I haven’t been impressed by tech like this for a long time. I’m an Apple nerd like probably most on here and have been for years but as I was using it, my mind was on overdrive how I could use this. I work full time in education but am also doing further studies at uni so having floating screens of research etc and notes just felt ideal for my use case.
I would aim to use it at night mostly when my wife is sleeping as she often complains of my bright laptop and work being an annoyance whereas I’m visualising myself being in complete darkness immersed in my computing spatial environment (can you tell I’ve already thought of the script to justify it to her 😂).
What I want to know is, will this novelty wear off? I’m not naive and know that devices lose their ‘shine’ after a while of use, but having looked at a lot of reviews and videos I can’t help but think is all the negative reviews justified? Maybe my expectations are lower than everyone else but if someone said even 5 years ago that I could have my MBP screen floating in mid air and stretched across my bedroom where I could fully interact with it and have multiple windows hovering like some sort of Tony Stark/Jarvis with the polish of Apple’s UI, I probably wouldn’t have believed them.
I guess what I’m asking is, have a lot of you regretted buying it or have you utilised it effectively as a productivity device within its early limitations (weight, battery, size etc).
Thanks for your input.
