Tech is so cheap now. When the Macintosh II came out in 1987 [1]:
> When introduced, a basic system with monitor and 20 MB hard drive cost US$5,498 (equivalent to $14,160 in 2022). With a 13-inch color monitor and 8-bit display card the price was around US$7,145 (equivalent to $18,400 in 2022).
Even the Commodore 64 was expensive [2]:
> Volume production started in early 1982, marketing in August for US$595 (equivalent to $1,800 in 2022).
If the experience is worth it and there's no cheaper competitor, people have the money for these things.
And honestly, as a big user of the Quest 2 -- the Quest 3 isn't anywhere close to the same ballpark as this. Apple Vision Pro looks absolutely more than 7x better, the only question is whether it's worth it for you.
Absolutely. I’d rather have companies making these type of high quality products even if I can’t afford them to not having products like this in the market at all.
