I thought Marques’ review was interesting and covered most of the basics. Joanna Stern seemed to be the only one who had actually tried to do real work in it and “got a ton done”. The Verge’s review was also worth watching.
Got a tip for us?

This was a shockingly good overview of what AVP can do.
You can‘t wait for someone to tell you what they want because most people don’t actually know what they want. You have to try things out. It’s only then will you figure out what people actually want or will use.
I can’t imagine this being comfortable. I only last a 30 minute tv episode before I am starting to count the time to finally take off my Quest 3 and the AVP is even more heavy! I tried watching a 1h 20 min movie yesterday and the weight on your nose / cheeks is getting very annoying. I constantly adjust the googles to make my skin breathe. I expect the same would happen with the AVP. I have no problem with the vision or my eyes at all. It’s the weight on the face and according to the reviews I have seen, the AVP is even more „face heavy“

The reviews are really upbeat and positive. It's clear this doesn't feel like a normal first gen product. Vision Pro has a ton of utility on day one and will delight everyone who buys one.
Did she get more done than with a normal work setup and/or a couple monitors at a dock setup?
It seems like we are trying really hard to find a reason for this thing to exist at all, let alone be measurably more useful than existing tried and true methods.
Are we just rearranging deck chairs here to try to justify Apple spending all this time and money?
We? What makes you think you and any of the rest of us share values, needs, wants, financial resources, creative imagination and same style of productive output?
This is the best one so far from all the videos posted here. It is as real as you get for daily use experience. The verge one tried too hard to appease the naysayers focussing only on negative on every positive. The iJustines one I can hardly take too serious as it’s too overly fanboying.
I agree, this is not only the best video from Brian Tong I've seen, but the review is probably the best and most through APV review showing use of vision pro in a casual/pro setting. Presents both positive/negative from an objective point of view and then separates that from his own personal opinion at the end.
Yea, because for sure, people would buy it JUST for timers. Just like people buy the Apple Watch JUST for timers. 🙄
You guys are missing the point if you think the actual timer floating over the pot is a 'killer' use.
It's representative of the many amazing things that can be done mixing normal reality with spacial computing tech.
It's the guy that did the Tom's guy review, earlier in the thread. He did a good review.
Yes, loved Brian Tong's review - almost an hour and had to rewind the video to watch again.
Very informative and truthful to the masses.
While the timer is my primary use, I also use it to page my phone.
While my AW can remotely start/lock/unlock my EV; I don't think Vision OS can do that nor would I want it to...
what an odd concept indeed: waiting until you actually have the money to buy something.
But hey, if you’re so keen on giving someone else yet more of your money, go right ahead I guess…
Never understood that (American?) infatuation with debt.
I had the money to buy this, but Apple offers 12 equal monthly payments with no interest.
I once bought a Prius with a three-year 0% interest loan. For my next car, there wasn't such special financing available. I used my test drive to pick up a cashiers check at the bank. I hate carrying debt, but not so much that I pass up interest free financing.
I didn't even think about timers, but now, if I'm using Vision Pro and I need a timer, I'm definitely not going to use my Apple Watch or iPhone when there are timers right there in Vision Pro!
If you’re really asking, I do because I’m an absolute newb in the kitchen lol. But I probably wouldn’t use a VP for this.

I'm all in on the iPad Pro lifestyle, but the virtual monitors makes me want to buy a MBP again. Hopefully they'll bring it to iPad.
Why shockingly? You've used a buzz word there. Not sure why. It was a decent review, that's all (as you'd expect from that channel).
Still doesn't make the device any more worthwhile a buy, nor boost its use-case.
I’m still not sure what the benefit of that is, though. I use my MBA with a 32” 4K display already. The AVP just lets me have a bigger display?If you use Mac, here's a biggie:

Yeah it lets you resize up or down as you need. Plus apparently you can have apps sitting around your virtual display as if in full-screen mode. If 32" you have is already more than enough for your needs then obviously it's less attractive for you. For me, the idea I don't have to have a large physical monitor sitting on my desk is pretty compelling in itself.
