But that isn't fair, since we know a vast majority of all-day computer users don't do this. The impact that a screen inches from your eyeballs has on you physically is simply higher, although both carry costs.

Headsets focus your eyes much further away than desktop monitors.

Standing and walking, though, they're still going to be important.

I work sitting in a chair, looking at a screen. If I were to work using one of these, I would just plug it in like my computer and screen currently are. Though it would be nice to go outside and work in my hammock, on a gigantic floating screen!

It can be plugged in for all-day use.

You can buy two or three and swap them out. Chicken scratch for a company when engineers cost so much these days anyhow.

You can plug it in directly too. It’s not just battery packs.

You can pair a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it was shown in the keynote.

They're positioning this as a productivity product. You'll probably be able to just use a keyboard. Get ready to learn to type without looking at the keys I guess, but I think most people already can with only a few issues.

Imo most useful case for this is watching youtube in bed, I'd just keep a bluetooth keyboard/mouse on my nightstand.

The keys on the magic keyboard (and therefore hand positions) are no closer together than on other keyboards. It just doesn't have the numeric keypad part.

If you want an ergonomic keyboard with a gap in the middle, any bluetooth keyboard will work with a Mac, iPhone or iPad, so I imagine it would with this too.

They've already made it clear that you can do that without a glove... (as well as optionally using physical devices instead).

I want it to work with the original NES Power Glove, or I don't want it at all.

Why would it obviate the need for a mouse? I can focus on something and expect my cursor elsewhere. Especially in games

it's not about if you can but if you should

you should at least take a brake where you use your legs every hour or more often because if not it will noticeable increase the chance of blot clots in your veins and in turn stuff like heart attacks (long term wrong behavior leading to increased risk over the long term, no relevant per-case risk)

similar you should change the focus distance of you eyes often enough as it does reduce eye strain (similar light conditioning in your room) and the easiest way to do it is to look not at your screen e.g. when standing up and moving around (and if well done maybe the glasses from Apple can simulated depth in a way which does lead to changes in eye focus)

Having a walking band below your desk and looking around your room outside of the window or similar will also fix this issues quite efficiently, at the cost of being less lazy (and issues for people with certain kind of back issues).

It's very comfortable until you've used a VR display (like an NReal Air). You can relax all of the muscles in your body and still get work done.

Yes, mostly. But sometimes not. Sometimes I wish I could have those 32 inches on the vesa while still sitting on the sofa.

I'm not a native English speaker so I thought I missed a comma somewhere. But rereading my previous comment I'm rather certain I mean the small screen to be the one of the laptop. Even the 16" model gives only so much space to work with.
