At that price id be tempted to duck tape a MacBook Air to my face at half the price 
Soldato
yea vision none pro, vision air, vision mini?

Vision mini being a monocle yeah?
Honestly I'm surprised by the pricing, I was expecting $5000 given the tech involved. $3500 means they're selling this at low margins.
Was quite impressed by the integration, especially ability to integrate it with macOS and create an infinite size virtual second monitor. Usability is miles ahead of any competitors, but so is the price Wasn't expecting any different from Apple though.
Gonna put away £100 a month for this for the next 3 years and then buy the second generation

I’m really looking forward to demoing this, although sounds like another 12 months or so before it hits the UK.
Still time to save up. It’s a huge price, but I know colleagues who spend the same on holidays or loads of Sonos gear.
This seems to be the closest to genuine AR, rather than VR, I’ve seen so far.
My only concern is how those special lenses for glasses wearers works, and the additional costs involved.

It's expensive and definitely needed to be cheaper for it to be another iPod/iPhone type product but, given that it does appear to be really well done and made, compared to what we've had in the past like the HoloLens, I don't think it'll be a flop especially if they can throw out cheaper models for the masses.
As said, I definitely want a go on one. Just a shame they delayed it further as it was originally delayed 'til Q3/4.

Eye watering price would be a day one purchase if I wouldn't feel the pain in my wallet.

Those twelve south MagSafe stands are still dirt cheap on eBay for those who want to try out that standby charging feature.
I expect there will be a non-pro version with most of the capabilities at less than half the price down the line.

If I was the CEO of Emirates for example, I would install 4k 360degree cameras in all the A380s and design a custom app where you can look through the fuselage in real time. Combine that with AR style landmark tags would be epic.
Honestly wouldn't even be that difficult to implement, really trivial but super cool.
Airplane passenger simulator 2000. Enjoy the experience of flying in your own home.
Combine with Hilton hotel simulator (with adult film pack) for the full business trip experience

Makes it all the more incredible that Oculus were able to put out the Quest 2 for under £300.
