Linus is out of office, so he challenged Luke to try out the new M5 Vision Pro to see if it would make him regret his recent expensive purchase of the Bigscreen Beyond 2.

The video opens with Luke introducing the Apple Vision Pro M5 and framing a challenge from Linus to test the device after Luke spent on a Bigscreen Beyond 2. He quickly notes the Vision Pro’s heft and the new M5 chip, highlighting the perceived improvement in processing power and responsiveness. Early in the unboxing, he details what comes in the box, including the battery with a long cable and a 40 W dynamic power adapter, and remarks on how pricing shapes perceived value. He compares small design changes to the original Vision Pro, such as the updated headband and weight distribution, and explains how the new rear tungsten weighting improves comfort for long sessions. Luke then pivots to hands-on impressions, pointing out the passthrough camera capabilities, the eye and hand tracking interactions, and first-time use of the M5’s display refresh and foveated rendering benefits, while noting the device’s premium price and potential for a limited audience. He discusses practical use cases including productivity apps, browser-based experiences, and the Mac virtual display feature, while also critiquing the absence of a native YouTube app and the mixed media app ecosystem. The sponsor portion for DeleteMe is included, followed by a thoughtful wrap on who this device is for, acknowledging that it targets a narrow audience despite its impressive tech. In conclusion, Luke emphasizes the Vision Pro as a high-end, cutting-edge tool with compelling spatial computing capabilities, yet remains cautious about its broader adoption given price, app availability, and real-world use cases. The video ends with a balanced take that the Vision Pro can deliver a unique productivity and immersion experience for some users, while not being a must-have for everyone.
