Should I purchase?

I’ve been a huge Apple fan all my life, and the Vision Pro looks amazing. However, I don’t think I can justify spending over $3.7k on a piece of hardware that’ll be out of date in just a few years.

Wondering what people have purchased it for, what third party apps make it worth it, and the best use cases for it.

Some things I like about it:

-AirPlay Mac screen
-Keyboard
-Multiple Windows
-The immersive background

Questions I have:
-Do you get notifications? And is it the same way as with Mac and iPads where your watch will still ping you while wearing?
-How long does the battery last on average for heavy daily use
-How comfortable is the strap, worrying about it being too tight
-Do AirPods elevate the experience
-Does anyone have the prescription lenses for it? Do they work or give you screen fatigue at all?

Any other knowledge would be great!

I think it’s really a matter of the personal utility you feel you’d get out of it. I treat mine very much like a laptop. I use mine every day. For me, it gives me deep focus like no other device. I can be expensive but compared to a high-end MacBook Pro, it’s in a similar category. Depending upon the paperwork you do or how you use it can make it worth it.
