I’m not a working while travelling kind of person (I often have the ambition to work while flying, but for some reason I always feel too tired); my Vision Pro stays in my bag for the duration of the flight. For work when away from home more generally, however, I find it a fantastic device. It’s basically a portable Apple Studio Display that I can use wherever I go. As someone in a long distance relationship who is often away from home for long periods of time, this is extremely useful.

Paying three grand for a monitor you can buy for your 'second place' for a few hundred dollars seems like a choice.

I'm in the same position. I considered the vision pro, but couldn't justify it, even if I used it on the flights etc. I depend on my switch/steamdeck for the plane, laptop if i have to work (I try not to, it's terrible)... and then I just went on amazon and bought a pair of 27" lg widescreens for a few hundred a piece. When I'm not in her apt we stow one of them in a closet (she dislikes two monitors on a purely aesthetic level). I fly in with my laptop and my keyboard and I'm ready to go.

I bought mine used for significantly less than three grand. And the thing is, I don’t have a single fixed second place. My life is rather complicated and nomadic, having a portable big screen is very convenient.

Fair, i split my time right now between seattle and nyc, made sense just to buy extra monitors for nyc.
