I used an Apple Lisa at work back in 1982 and really wanted one for myself, but I was just starting my career and couldn’t afford the $10,000 price tag, but got one of the first Macintosh computers in 1984. I am looking forward to buying a couple of these VisionPros next year. I don’t get all the complaints about the price of this when people spend more on 8K TVs or a few months of car payments on a Tesla. I also didn’t understand back a few years ago when I was working as a software engineer and my company wouldn’t buy me a new $5000 iMac Pro when it came out. They said it was too expensive, but would have boosted my productivity by 20% (slow build times) and I was making $200/hour and it would have paid for itself in a few weeks.

$3500 to become a lazy blob wearing a VR headset? No thanks.
