    No, they don’t need those apps, they literally just need one app, a well working remote desktop one.

    They will never be a workstation because you will never get the amount of power you can get into your desktop, into your ski goggles. They could however, function as a perfectly good wireless monitor solution for an existing desktop. Strip out some of the processing power, make them smaller, lighter, and more comfortable, like the big screen beyond, and then tailor MacOS and iOS to use them as remote displays that let you put windows anywhere and you have your killer app: monitor replacements.

      I meant workstation like a thin client that connects to better hardware. I did describe software and not hardware.

      That’s one of the things it does… connect to your Mac and get big virtual monitors for it. Major selling point imo

        Yeah but for $3500…… no one’s going to pay that for a monitor replacement. Get it to even $1000-$1500 and I’d bet you get a lot more interest.
