I’m not saying the price isn’t wild but people constantly complain about the cables. It’s one of the top listed complaints. There’s a reason the Quest line is so popular (relatively speaking. VR is still not doing great). It’s not just cost, it’s also the lack of a cable.
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.
