Not for nothing, I'm a fan of my early gen xReal air, though mostly for an on-the-go coding use case.

I link it up to my phone, wire up a 60% keyboard and fire up a VPN/ssh. The Galaxy DeX environment is pretty usable for other apps, and a BT mouse can alleviate the goofiness of the "phone as a touchpad" control scheme.

I've used it with an HDMI/usb-c cable from my desktop and it works just as well, though attempting to switch between virtual and real displays through the glasses is headache-inducing at best.

I'd say you accomplish 60% of the effect of the AVP, conservatively.

I don’t know how it compares to the avp but as an old guy, the xreal looks like normal sunglasses. Most people just come sit next to me and talk (even though there IS a massive keyboard in front of me) as though I am just having a coffee in the sun. I like it because it is light, small, very long (my phone) battery life. I am afraid I will like avp better though.
