On the demo video they show it connecting to a macOS laptop wirelessly.

Sure, but that comes with two downsides:

1. Since it's an extended display over wireless, bandwidth limitations mean you're limited to just a single 4k resolution monitor floating in space (they mentioned that it simulates a single 4k monitor in the demo)

2. You also would have to bring your laptop with you

To me, one of the major value propositions for something like the Vision Pro would be that it could replace your laptop entirely. But it doesn't seem like that will be the case, at least based on what they've announced.

  • I'm about 80% sure they'll come up with an USB-C -> Vision cable you can use to plug in to your Mac.

    Or the power bank is an USB-C bank and you can just detach the cable from it and plug it in directly and use the laptop's battery + get a wired connection.

  • Well you can have the laptop as a single screen floating in space and then other floating screens that are running off the Vision Pro, e.g. your web browser, docs, etc.
