Yes but it doesn't hurt your neck or make you sick after a few hours while also having better resolution and easier usability for basic computer interactions. Vision pro as desktop computer replacement sounds like a Rube Goldberg solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Possibly Vision Pro as laptop screen replacement sounds plausible but I still don't think the UX will be comfortable nor do I think the virtual screen will actually hold up as good for typing/reading text.

A mouse, keyboard, and proper monitor/screen work likely work better than a virtual screen without all the well known negatives that come with the latter. We'll see how it plays out though.



It feels like you’re arguing with me, but I’ve already said twice that the comfort level is still an unknown and that if it’s too uncomfortable I’m going to return it.

Also worth pointing out that the mouse seamlessly moves from your Mac screen to any native Vision Pro apps. So if I do all my web browsing in “native” Vision Pro, then add in Slack and Messages and Mail as native vision pro apps (using the same keyboard and mouse for input, mind you), I will likely only be using the virtual Mac screen for my IDE. Being able to put everything but my IDE in arbitrary virtual space around me is a step up from my single screen today, absent other comfort issues.
