    Whoa!

    How does this work with different human vision levels/eyes that need glasses, etc?

    Let’s get an iPhone app first, what is taking so long?

    kinda weird they made it permanently connected. Loses a lot of usability…

      The cord is permanently connected to the laptop, but the cord can disconnect from the glasses them selfs,

    The virtue pros just as good

    Can’t wait until the technology allows for an AR monocle

  8. @cristalumati

    June 20, 2024 at 7:26 pm

    this is so stupid, why not buy directly some ar glasses and use with your own devices?

    This feels like some oddware from the 00s

    Nope

  11. @gynnox

    June 20, 2024 at 7:37 pm

    They could literally add the glasses onto any laptop? So what is the reason for this?

  12. @fruitcake4910

    June 20, 2024 at 7:40 pm

    Nobody is going to be caught using this in the public especially in a professional settimg

      They say the same with air pod.

    until you are driving

    Reminds me of the first cellphones where you had to carry a case with the receiver. Looks like a relic already.

  15. @iblackfeathers

    June 20, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    in the future… there will likely be someone who uses this while driving despite warnings not to do so.

  16. @BarelyAverageDude

    June 20, 2024 at 8:44 pm

    Not being detachable is a miss imo.
    And the computer itself doesn’t seem powerful enough to cost $1900.
    Great concept tho. I almost preordered a couple months ago.

  17. @TVCHLORD

    overpriced garbage just buy a laptop and xreal glasses for less money

  18. @Aragorn7884

    A solution to a non-existent problem 😅🤑

    have a backbone CNET and stop reviewing israeli startups… you think they won’t sell this to the military

    This was not a hands on video, this was an ad going over the feature bullet points.

    What if I am the type of person who needs to look at the keyboard when they are typing?

      you look down🤷🏾‍♂

    The bottom line is people don’t want to give up their peripheral vision. AR and VR kinda works for games and movies, but even then you still end up needing to see what your hands are touching or your surroundings. Cool gimmick – DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

    I own a pair of x real glasses I use with a mac mini, they’re great, I love using them but they get uncomfortable. I wish xreal cared more about comfort than how the AR glasses looked.

  25. @dudycemed790

    June 21, 2024 at 1:55 am

    It’s a good concept, I think in next 3 years the finishing would be better.

  26. @Jrfeimst2

    Way too much money. You can buy AR glasses and say a MacBook Air for less and you’d have a full laptop if you need it.

  27. @v000000000000v

    June 21, 2024 at 2:11 am

    just buy the glasses and use a galaxy phone with a bluetooth keyboard lol

    Re inventing the wheel me thinks ….whats the point

  29. @FSK1138

    June 21, 2024 at 2:20 am

    not sure why you would not just plug AR glasses into your laptop???😅

  30. @adriano760

    June 21, 2024 at 2:23 am

    this is extremely stupid

  31. @DesignTechie

    Vision OS

    Windows MR

    Daydream ?!?!!

    We do have os’s that are capable of integrating with ar and vr

    We don’t have the hardware to make it mainstream

  32. @nickthaskater

    June 21, 2024 at 2:42 am

    Makes much more sense to use AR glasses over USB-C with something like a Samsung phone that can be used with the DeX desktop interface. That way when you get a new phone you get a new computer.

    This is the future and what i am waiting for. there should be NO SCREEEN!

    This is great for those who need to use several screens for their job, saves you having to have 3 monitors taking up a lot of space on a desk…

  35. @macjim

    June 21, 2024 at 4:06 am

    Eh…… no.

  36. @halum3

    June 21, 2024 at 4:09 am

    I liked the dance move you did there to connect different devices 😂

  37. @p5rsona

    June 21, 2024 at 6:10 am

    this is the biggest scam. why would I buy this overpriced junk? Just get the nreal glasses and use it with your existing devices.

  38. @victorozurumba2300

    this
    is lowkey the stupidest idea ever

    perfect for the Hub

  40. @kpnitrl38

    Just not anywhere near consumers appetite in today’s technology.

  41. @kenmasters007

    June 21, 2024 at 9:52 am

    Chromebook no thanks! Xreal comes with head tracking. Is this just a 1900 chromebook?

  42. @CNormanHocker

    June 21, 2024 at 1:17 pm

    If they have the ability to make a case for a Surface or a MacBook, that’d be better.

  43. @KingKola_

    June 21, 2024 at 2:18 pm

    Well if the spacetop is web app dependent, then it will require internet which means you are very limited in paces you can use your device.

  44. @Stricks823

    June 21, 2024 at 2:45 pm

    Naaa this isn’t it yet, call me crazy but holographic screens are the future, same experience but no extra stuff and same price for everyone cos think about what this will cost for a person that already wears glaces

    Talking about that never understood why these kind of devices need prescription lenses if we wear glasses I mean couldn’t the image be adapted to the user at least for the most common vision deficiencies like myopia and hyperopia

  45. @jessewintermute8031

    June 21, 2024 at 2:49 pm

    It’s very “meh”

  46. @ZadesLegacy

    June 21, 2024 at 5:13 pm

    Make the glasses wireless, or make both ends USB-C detachable.

    Otherwise, this is outdated before this even launches. Especially at $1900. Currently it only feels like they replaced the laptop screen with additional motion tracking hardware with a massive price tag slapped to it. I see what they want to do with this, and I hope it works out. But this prototype just isn’t doing it for me.

    bro.. what? no windows no deal.

  48. @pkla14

    June 21, 2024 at 6:02 pm

    Spacetop is going to ruin a lot of people’s experience for VR productivity. Crappy glasses with a low powered computer at a high price.

    A lot better things to come even just later this year.

    Heading in a cool direction, I guess. But not there yet.
