Seems like most people are saying “this is dope for media,” and outside of that, it’s a glorified dev kit.

    Yes, "media". That's what I call porn too. That said, get a real VR headset.

    Eh, I’m not buying the thing, but at least they’re doing some different stuff and have made some advancements for computing in AR / VR.

    I don’t see how this is any less “real” than the other headsets. It’s better with productivity and some multimedia stuff because of the crazy high PPI displays, but it also lacks a good game library at the moment, and the price to entry is pretty nuts.

    Well it's an AR headset. They have different design goals.

    It’s being marketed as an AR headset, but it’s fully sealed and you can totally load up VR environments in it with no pass through.

    IMHO, they’re not mentioning “VR” in the marketing because the pure VR software library is anemic, and the mixed reality / AR hardware and software is really good.
