I wonder what he’s doing with it. I’d guess just regular work with a mac? Or sitting on the couch watching videos?
They’re selling it as a working aid, and monitor replacement. Like an iPad with infinite display size and resolution. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t just send emails and have video conferences with it all day.
Regarding the monitor: the resolution is the same (apart from you being able to make it bigger, I think there’s still the same space) and there’s only one monitor available and that’s replacing your Mac screen. That seems to be an obvious use case, but in its current form it feels somewhat useless (unless I’m misunderstanding something).
You are talking about different things. Using the native OS you can have infinite windows at any size, but if you are duplicating your desktop view from your Mac then you are limited to a fixed-density single screen
Yeah I’m only talking about the Mac monitor. You’re right ofc, all the iPad-like windows are more customizable and there can be more of them. Only for my workflow that wouldn’t help much since all the windows I’m working with have to actually come from the Mac.
