Yeah, getting a more flexible work environment seems like the only non-gimmicky selling point here. But there are much cheaper and lighter devices for that. Like NReal Air. (Haven't tried it but reviewers seem fairly happy)
I feel like an 13" MacBook Air is the ultimate in flexible work environments. Incredibly light, powerful, goes anywhere, long lasting battery. Perhaps I'm just a philistine and haven't yet gotten a taste of the new world yet...
Plenty of software and workflows chew up a lot of screen real estate. 13" isn't enough for how a lot of people like to work.
I make it a point to do all my work on a laptop like this. That way, I’m 100% productive anywhere like in a hotel for example. I never miss giant external monitors because I don’t have any.
Alternatively, you're 50% productive everywhere.

Nreal Air is good for resolution but bad for view angle. It's not for monitor alternative use.
Thank you. I was hoping for some testimonial on this use case, since the price and features are pretty attractive for the air.
I will now wait for a future revision.
For working, it's not as good as an actual monitor but much easier to travel with. Really shines for games/movies though.
That's a bummer. I'd really like to not be dependent on additional displays or bending my neck all the time.
