    I see your point but i dont know if i equate this new apple device to a computer. Its certainly got alot of amazing features but compared to a computer it doesnt hold up functionally.

    You could argue that eventually it will surpass a computer in functionality and become more mainstream but thats kind of my point. Right now its not there, but after they have developed it for 10-15 years you might see mass adoption of this type of device over PCs.

    I also didnt say it would never amount to anything. Using your statement i would point out that computers were not found in everyones home until the end of the 90s and beyond. So i stand by my suggestion that it will be something rich people have for many yeara beforw becoming mainstream.

      I mean, isn’t it the equivalent of a Mac Mini strapped to your head, computing-horsepower-wise?

        Yeah it’s an M2 along with an R1, which in the marketing images appears as big as the M2 though that could just be for looks. Either way it has more silicon than the Mac Mini/MBA.

        Power wise maybe, but fuctionally it remains to be seen if this could replace a desktop. I suspect not in its current form.
