This could have been predicted just by looking at how AVP compares to other VR headsets.

More stuff? Yes (also more modes and ways to utilize it).
More weight? No.

So, 2o-inch Apple? What would really make sense to me is a 27" screen, since if you fold this in half, you get a nice laptop size. 27" is ok to work with, in the office I prefer 32". Don't know, since at the moment I'm opting for 14" models, since my laptop is connected to an external monitor, most of the time.
Its pretty easy to make a ton of assumptions a long time out and then be right 75% of the time...because people forgot the other 50% of stuff you said.
My favorite is when they say something is happening, then a week later say its not happening.

This seems unnecessary to me. I’d much rather them release the convertible like Viticci created. Give us the iBook!!

The use case for this doesn't make sense to me. You're constantly carrying around all that extra weight and bulk. If you use the extra screen real estate 100% of the time, then okay, maybe. but I'd rather just keep doing what I currently do, which is have an external USBC display and bring it along when I need it. That way, I can have a whopping 30" (15 + 15) across the 2 monitors, yet it still be portable enough to use when I only need the 15.

Read this story about a guy who built his own Mac Pad. He loves it, and goes into great detail how Apple's somewhat unique OS features make the experience great. Do this as well please. Link (well worth the read):

MacPad: How I Created the Hybrid Mac-iPad Laptop and Tablet That Apple Won’t Make
It all started because I wanted a better keyboard for my Vision Pro. I had no idea that, in looking for one, I’d accidentally create the hybrid Apple computer of my dreams. As I quickly discovered after working on the Vision Pro daily, you can get by without an external trackpad, but a keyboard is

Nobody in this thread will be able to afford one of these anyways when it comes out. By the time it comes out, nearly 90-100% of us are going to be laid off from our current place of employment anyways. Whether you are a software engineer or someone who likes Apple in general, no job will be safe in the next couple of years.

I am definitely the target audience for this. I work hybrid, including some travel, and the monitors in various offices/locations are generally cheap HD garbage at best (usually HP, Dell, etc.). This means I end up working on the built-in 14" screen instead. Removing these crappy monitors from workspaces and handing out laptops with portable 20" screens would be ideal.

Shame it almost definitely won't be a touchscreen if it will have MacOS, I've always wanted a giant tablet.
PS for those luddites crying about today's folding technology in a product which might come out in 3 years, look how far foldables have advanced in that same time frame. In 3 years the technology will be in a much better place.
