Isn't the Quest 2 the newest headset they offer? Why wouldn't it be fair to try that out and see if it worked, and come to the conclusion that it was underwhelming?


No, the Quest 2 has been out since 2020. The Quest Pro is the latest.

It's unfair because the Quest 2 is mainly a console and was never marketed as a productivity AR device. That's like trying to do your job on a PS5 and claim it's underwhelming, or take your Ferrari off-roading and claim it's underwhelming or trying ML workloads on a Gameboy and claim it's underwhelming.

You are are of course free to try those scenarios and have your opinion that the devices are underwhelming, but nobody can take your point seriously.


Quest pro


The Quest Pro is "newly" available now (as of late Oct 22 it appears), but the GP said they had tried last year... I guess now that we're in 2023, that could mean some time in 2022, though. I took their comment to mean that they tried out the 2 in anticipation of the release of the Pro, some time in the more distant past.
