      Apple Vision Pro can recognize a Macbook and turn that screen into the "theater" screen so you can continue using your Macbook as is with the keyboard and trackpad. There was even a Youtuber that got annoyed of the black screen on the Macbook when doing this that he removed the screen from a Macbook altogether[0]. 0. this video

    2. @geoffpadoJan 2025· in “Steam Brick: No screen, no controller, just a power button and a USB port”

      There were some people doing something similar with the Vision Pro and detaching the monitor from a MacBook Air[0]. It looks really slick, but how well it actually works, especially given the drawbacks of the Vision Pro, is… up for interpretation. 0: this video

    3. @PhilpaxMay 2025· in “Coding without a laptop: Two weeks with AR glasses and Linux on Android”

      There are people who have bought MBPs with broken screens and deleted the screen to use them with the Vision Pro. Works quite well! See this video .
