    Maybe for traveling. However, how many people really are going to buy an expensive electronic device for a few hours on a plane?

    That’s a pretty “upper class” luxury at best. Then, there’s nobody developing apps for it outside of a few streaming providers (maybe).

    Also, I work with multiple monitors all day and play games on those monitors at night, but I still appreciate that I can look away from the content and just “get up and get a drink” or look out the window and watch the birds outside of my office at the feeder.

    Also think about all this effort people put in to try and reduce their screen time… A VR headset is the antithesis of that objective.













  • Their laptops are built on third party chassis. I have their keyboard and that thing is SOLID. I expect their desktops (that are custom made) are also quite solid.

    Laptops… I’d lean frame.work if you know your way around a Linux installer. That said, there are rumors that system76 is working on a custom laptop chassis (still, framework is hard to beat for modularity).

    Edit: while not specifically QC related… I suspect the things that aren’t really custom built for them might not get the same level of care/might be more on their supplier depending on the issue.
