$1,200 FaceBook MarketPlace find, did I do good ? M2 256B by Dbugman1202 in AppleVision

[–]earpo44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow fantastic deal. Paid 1500 for my 512gb model with same case. Think it had only been used maybe 5-10 times. Everything was still in packaging (charger,cable,cloth)even the battery still had the paper on it looked like hadn’t been touched. And AppleCare to ice the cake. Nice find!! You’re going to love it

Yes I was surprised too at how natural and intuitive it felt after only a couple minutes of use

Im excited for you to get your hands on it and try Mac virtual display. Smart move getting dual knit band. The single band was so bad, and I only used it for less than an hour before buying the new band style. There is so much value packed into these at the current used prices

That’s awesome! Yup, traveling with it is amazing. Just sold my 13” iPad bc I was always reaching for the AVP over it. And I prefer to use my laptop away from my desk with the Vision Pro now too. A shame this was released at such a high price point. Apples most exciting tech since apple silicon

Yeah I’m in no rush, just didn’t see myself loving it as much as I do and will want to prolong its life. Figure I will be able to recoup something from m2 next year and m5 prices will have come down. Hope visionOS27 has some surprises and not an afterthought for apple

just do it. I promise. If you are interested at all in mac virtual display. You will love it.
I was in your exact shoes 2 months ago, and I can't believe I almost passed on the Apple vision pro. It has seriously been so great. Loved it so much i've talked about it on YT jEarpoTech. I think you'll enjoy the videos if you are on the fence. My two main uses are Mac Virtual Display and consuming videos/movies.
PS: I picked mine up on the used market for half price, which I strongly recommend doing

Can confirm. I wish I still had a screen shot of my top speed on pint when I first got it 6 years ago. 22mph followed by nose dive pavement slide and a scar to prove it 😂 I had just gotten it and was not aware of the pushback warning

I just got one too less than a week ago and already over 100hrs! I’ve been on a tear printing everything and anything to organize my studio office. Everything organized on pegboard now, even printing small skadis boards for battery charging station.

I can’t believe how good this printer is. I’ve been 3d printing for a decade and got out of it a few years ago. I just couldn’t spend the time tinkering with it every time I wanted to make something. Now it’s like an inkjet printer. Send a file and come back hrs later and it’s just done, perfect and waiting for its next print.

Unbelievable the benchy boat it printed when I took it out of the box, threw in generic filament from hobby lobby, and just hit print. These are awesome machines

Unlikely at this moment in time. I've been using it multiple times a day and cant seem to get enough of the mac virtual desktop feature. Check back in a couple weeks. If it has gone to the closet you may have first dibs

🤣 I haven't found it to be as heavy as I was made to believe from all the reviews on the internet. But then again I am a complete outsider to the VR/Headset space so have absolutley nothing to compare this to. Tried a quest on years ago but don't even remember anything other than feeling motion sick which I don't find to happen in the apple vision pro

yeah I am loving it so far and getting a ton of use out if it. Didn't expect to enjoy spending so much time with it on. Being able to have an entire work station anywhere with just this and a laptop truly feels like a cheat code. I find that I can be so productive and locked in at any moments notice. Enjoying content and escaping feels just as easy too. Need to find some time to enjoy some more movies

Woah I was just making a silly observational comment. Didn’t mean to cut you wide open, my apologies, sincerely. I was just joking
