    “My whole desk setup now easily fits into a backpack and I can take it anywhere”

      He addresses this by saying a laptop doesn’t allow you to replace components, doesn’t have mechanical keyboard and there’s no ultra wide support.

      The funny thing is, this device he’s using doesn’t allow you to replace components either. And there are 21:9 laptops and mechanical keyboards available.

      Seemed like he’s trying to reverse-engineer his way into justifying a use case for it, but just failed.

        I read that as well, and it addresses none of that. Also, you can replace components on a lot of laptops, and ALL components on a Framework. This is why they are so sought after.

        Whoever wrote this is making a bad faith argument and throwing an ignorant assertion out to serve a specific purpose, which…is not stated 🤣

          Yeah, you can swap more on a framework laptop than the mini PC he’s using.

          However glasses, a mini PC, keyboard and battery is smaller than a laptop. Using whatever keyboard you want instead of what came with the laptop for forever is also nice.

      You’re not wrong but this is a distinctly different experience. Some these AR glasses allow you to have multiple giant virtual displays instead of the tiny ~14 inch one. Hence the reference to a “desk setup”.

      Although I would argue that it would make more sense just to plug the glasses into a laptop.

      But also you can use your preferred keyboard and mouse (with more space for the mouse).

          Whats a fake assertion? This thing doesn’t need to completely revolutionize the industry or replace existing products completely to be viable and useful for some. I personally think it’s a neat idea even though I have zero use for a portable device outside of my phone. I seriously can’t comprehend why people seem to be getting outraged in the comments here over something that has zero effect on them or their life whether it exists or not.

          I can work at my desk using only my laptop. Do I want to, and is it my actual setup? No, and no. My laptop is plugged into my ultra wide screen, my mechanical keyboard and my mouse. That’s what he meant, and that’s what I found interesting.
