Goggles are an absurd joke and yet another example of greed.
They could have just connected that stupid wire that’s already there to your MacBook and saved you thousands of dollars in processors while making the headset lighter and more comfortable but they had to cram it all into the headset so they could sell them for four thousand fucking dollars.
Jesus, MacBooks cost 5K? That’s ridiculous, I’d expect that for a nice gaming laptop.
It’s a good point. The only bespoke thing on there, as far as I can tell, is the R1 chip. I assume a cord with enough bandwidth could be found in order to have a more modular system. The MacBook end may or may not have the port capacity for that, though.
Which, if the next version of the goggles has a useful battery life, may be no time soon.

Maybe a bit of hyperbole there but they certainly can be. A fully upgraded Mac Pro is ~$7k.
Yeah, I mean put that in the headset and leave the rest in the laptop. It’s the same chip.
