Reviews have begun dropping for Apple's new--and very expensive--spatial computing headset, the Apple Vision Pro. A $3,500 device designed to provide both VR and augmented reality experiences to users, the high-tech device will be available starting February 2. But is it worth its high price tag when there are more affordable--albeit far less advanced and singularly focused--alternatives available in the VR space?

According to reviews, the Apple Vision Pro is a technical marvel but one that still has room for improvement. Some ideas are incredibly well executed and the Vision Pro works seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem, but there's an overall feeling that the headset is still a product reserved for a niche audience of VR and AR enthusiasts.

Overall, if you have too much cash burning a hole in your pocket and you want to turn your living room into a private cinema or an internet browser inspired by the user interface of Minority Report, this might just be the headset for you. For everyone else? The Apple Vision Pro is an exciting glimpse of the future according to critics, but one that remains out of reach for a lot of people.
