It doesn’t run any desktop apps yet though, only Safari and Photos and a few content apps. They also demoed mirroring only a single Mac display. I think people are overlooking this and expecting to get multi monitor displays for heavy workload apps like on the Meta Quest Pro, but Apple are committed as always to making this a standalone system.

It's not going to be successful unless Apple get this right. I expect a lot of people here spend a lot of their time looking at text in various development environments. with a smaller number working on content creation.

I would love a huge virtual area with multiple screen so I can see far more of whatever I'm working on.

That would be a game changer.

But Safari, 3D movies, Avatar FaceTime, and maybe some games? And that's all?

That's a tough sell, especially at this price.

I agree, and I’m pretty worried that really is all that’s being offered on day one.
