One of Apple Vision Pro's best features is it's ability to connect to your Mac and stream it's screen for a massive, high resolution virtual display! But with the built in display deactivated, it made me wonder: why have it at all? Can you use Vision Pro with a headless MacBook for a virtual screen ONLY? Let's see how it works!!

the joke "they're going to remove the screen next time" is becoming a reality...
🤣
With all the power and price of Vision Pro not sure why you even need a Macbook to do it at the first place. Can’t it do it from its own hardware plus wireless keyboard and mouse
Apple simple needs to enable full macOS in a later update to
The Vision Pro 👍 …. But WILL they? ….. don’t count on it 😒
@@yghhhhrffv you're right. I can definitely see real desktops, monitors, laptops and phones being obsolete in the future.
Removing the MacBook’s screen is *courage*
Tim Cook is watching this video closely. Let‘s wait for the Mac Nano - half size of a Mac Mini to connect with AVP.
At this point just put an m3 Chip into a smartphone and let the smartphone be the MacBook
Mac mini with built in Keyboard and trackpad would be dope ngl
Pocket Mac.
Not a good idea. It's too many steps
@@IFrancyISantosIbatteries aint there quite yet
That commercial was hilarious. Good work!
I should’ve run it at the Super Bowl
@@lukemianiBigger than 1 bowl, but not bigger than 2 bowls tho😂
Especially that 🎷
The good ol' Filthy Frank vibes
*Just ask this doctor ... 'Yeahh!'
This video single handedly brought up the price of used screen cracked MacBooks on eBay 😂
Yeah and all you need to get it working is a 3500$ headset 😂 Far better deal then a $50 monitor off Craigslist.
Does no one ever think to just display out usbc-hdmi?
@@Lyrikal757*”NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”*
@@Lyrikal757 Everybody already always does that
@@siddharthrai6326 I sort of meant in the context of this portable MacBook no display. It’s still useful with the $50 monitor
It's a great idea, then you could get a top case to cover/protect the keyboard. Then maybe put a screen on that part too so you can use it without having to put the headset on all the time.
innovation.
Genius xD
You could also use a laptop sleeve!
Lmao
bro did not get the joke@@lukemiani
I just love the commercial. make it as a youtube short. this is viral material. even for instagram
I wouldn’t do it to a perfectly functional MacBook, but this is the perfect application for an eBay parts computer with a cracked screen.
Why go cheap after buying the 1 billion dollar headset lol
this is the true privacy screen office environments have been seeking.
😂😂
It's funny to think that headless laptops are the closest we have modern Apple II-like "Home Computers".
Computer, io, keyboard. Plug in to any TV and go.
uh, mac mini?
@@jamawl66 The Mac Mini doesn't feature a built in keyboard like the old Apple IIs did.
That's why OP explicitly referred to those machines. It's not just the Computer, or computer and IO, but computer IO AND Keyboard.
Someone should make an Apple ][ translucent case/keyboard for Minis, like they do for Amigas
@@MichaelSchiciano true, fair play!
@@jamawl66 Keyboard not built in, otherwise, sure.
You can also use the MacBook's battery as a battery pack for vision pro. Plug the MacBook to the wall, plug the AVP to the MacBook.
Hahaha! The VisionBook Air Max Ultra commercial bit was brilliant
This actually kinda is a proof of concept for my idea of a desk setup that just is a desk with a keyboard, mouse, a Mac Studio, speakers, and a Vision Pro. No monitors. Gonna be sick once Vision Pro 2 or whatever can do multiple Mac monitors.
instead of keyboard and mouse just embed the headless macbook into the desk for the combined keyboard and trackpad
@@SpirusFilms Too DIY and fixed for me personally, but would make for a cool RUclips video. I'd rather a MacBook in a doc or Mac Studio and a separate keyboard and mouse personally.
I was about to say this is a perfect idea for the Mac Studio, I am glad to see someone is already considering it. If I ever go Apple, this might be the way.
Petition to get that commercial in the Super Bowl 🔥🔥
👇
Cmon you deserve more than one like 😒
Where’s the people?!
What if using Vision Pro for Mac mini, Studio, or Mac Pro as display monitor instead of using external display?
This is actually really clever. Haven't seen anyone else talk or try this. Nice work Luke!!!
@Luke: can you please test the battery life of the macbook without the display?
Apple will start making Magic Keyboards with Macs incorporated with trackpads in the future... or making easily detachable MacBook screens
Mac Mini?
you mean the new Magic Keyboard the iPad pros will connect too
I would buy it
They could call it the… Apple-III
@@bb5242 the reason people aren't naming the Mac Mini is because the selling point is the built-in trackpad and keyboard.
Had my m1 MacBook Air nicely beheaded the day my Xreal air 2 was out for delivery ready to be used. Upon arrival plugged it into the USBc port and it’s the most amazing experience I had in a long time. With the beam I can make it wireless but mirroring must be turned on before unplugged. Maybe not the Vision Pro, but still awesome.
Your humor and presence in your videos are what differentiate yours from your colleagues, and why I stick to your videos 🙌 Loved the commercial - so funny
This was actually one of my thoughts while watching VP connect to macbooks. Because once connected, it kinda sucks that the physical display is useless but you still need the keyboard and trackpad. But if you could remove the physical screen, then no waste.
Honestly really cool and i think would be a good use scenario in like a version 2 or 3 or the regular consumer version down the line. Most ppl dont need a laptop all the time but the few times we do, just to connect to it with a “display” you already use would be cool.
Like if iphones could dock with a headset and offer the same software and fidelity that vision pro does. but then when you wanna use a macbook you just “look” at it and connect.
With a disclaimer and the whole enchilada, that was awesome advertisement. Lol
7:46 that's what she said 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 I'm crying 😂😂😂
I scrolled to comments just to find exactly this one!
😂
The Office
just in case somebody didnt get te joke :D
This is exactly the first thing I thought to do when I found out the Vision Pro could be used as a virtual display for Macs. I love that you made my idea a reality!
And the laptop isn’t useless if you don’t have a Vision device, you can still use it with a display at your desk if you want. Then when you get a Vision device (hopefully the cheaper Air won’t take too long) you can make the laptop portable again.
Super cool!
This is the Pinnacle of Privacy. Literally no one can see what's going on your MacBook's screen and no one can ever fiddle with your MacBook without an external display or the Vision Pro
That infomercial was sick 🔥🔥🔥
You made a Mackenstein 😂😂. I wonder if engineers at Apple tried this ✌🏼
He’s made a Macenstein before
Well actually that was the iMacenstein years ago
The commercial is the best skit I’ve seen on RUclips in a long while. 10/10 would watch again!
Now apple is going to release a *keyboard Air* only for vision pro. It's going to be history.
Nice video! I was thinking someone must be making this video! You ROCK!
Bro do more crazy stuff with Vision Pro😂❤❤❤
This is one of my favorite videos you have done even tho I’ll never do any of the things you did in this video and it’s completely useless I enjoyed it and it made me smile keep it up Luke
Awesome video. Reminds me of the Commodore 64 from 1982- computer in a keyboard without a screen! Back to the future! It would be amazing to see this form factor in a Mac. Amazing.
*Can you do 5k or 6k or even 8k resolutions by doing custom resolutions?*
*Does settings it to 4k resolution make it look shaper than the default resolution?*
The resolution of the Vision Pro is close, but not precisely 4k, so even if you can set the macs resolution to anything higher then 4k, you wouldn’t be able to see it. Also you don’t have unlimited amount of bandwidth, even for 1080p, you have to compress the image to stream over Wi-Fi, just like you aren’t watching a native 1080p video on RUclips, but a highly compressed video.
The humor is absolutely on point Luke. One of the best laughs I’ve had for as long as I can remember. That commercial 😂😂😂 and the “display is massive… not the first time that’s been said” was pretty good too! Keep it up
This reminds me of the Stargate SG-1 episode where Sam and Mitchell are working on Merlin’s device and they become invisible to everyone. The device has a screen that can only be seen on their side. Very cool Luke!
This is a good idea for the future, I've seen many screen less MacBook Pro Retina with a monitor, but with the time when this get cheaper will be a great option, also, the commercial part was so funny!
is it cool? yes. is it practical? no. absolutely not. does it maximize privacy? heck yeah!!
Which privacy? Privacy against corporations? Or the privacy against people?
@@arkvsi8142 well, other people can look at your screen while you use a MacBook. but they cannot when you use the MacBook Vision Air Elite Pro Max Epic Bacon 420 Ultra Edition, or whatever he called it in the video.
it isn't privacy "against" anyone. it's privacy from other people. in the coffee shop or on the plane. wherever there are others around.
I mean if you were to use it without detaching the screen, it would just go black as shown in the video at the start. But It's definitely way less clunky without the screen
@@davidddo yeah but the second you take the headset off, the screen comes back to the display. so this is more private.
however, it's enormously disadvantagous because once you do take the headset off, you no longer have a functioning laptop to return to. therefor, not practical.
It is practical. You are halfing the size of the MacBook. Making the whole setup even more portable. Whilst simultaneously removing the ugly black screen that gets in the way of your display.
Broke but in a rich way ya know
That commercial, legend! I had pneumonia recently, must be my screen!
All it needs is a Smart Cover to stop unintended presses in a bag, and it could create a stand for the keyboard.
The ad is convincing. I’d buy the VisionBook Air Max Ultra Pro
This was an awesome video Luke! And you’re hilarious (“not the first time that’s been said!”) Super glad to see you uploading more often again.
And maybe you just gave me a great idea for a new use of my old 2016 MacBook Pro with a damaged display…
Pretty sure that the virtual display function only works with MacBook pros from 2018 or newer 😞 but correct me if I’m wrong tho
Love it! Considering doing it! Question #1 - Be great to know how much longer the MacBook's battery lasts, playing video in Vision, without its hardware screen, vs. playing video on its hardware screen. #2 - Wouldn't it be great if you could select higher than MacBook screen resolution? And have a huge virtual screen in Vision be curved around you? Boom!
@Luke Miani I have two questions. My first question is can you use a remote desktop app to potentially use a remote windows screen next to connecting to your mac screen or maybe even launch multiple remote apps while in vision os, more than one time to get multiple work screens? My second question is does apple vision pro work with any older intel macs or does the mac need to have a m based processor chip to work with the vision pro?
Does it work with a mac mini or studio?
No it actually doesn’t
Its only on apple sillicon Laptops
@@Nairod-IndustriesActually it works on Intel MacBooks running Sonoma too.
bro, just use a mac mini instead
Need this type of videos more
dude this is absolutely insane an not worth it in any way, but i love it
its like this keyboard Raspberry Pie but with a trackpad.... and Vision Pro support
That's what I currently do with my Quest and headless MacBook!
This is stupid but this is the content I subscribed for.
How are the thermals? When I used my M1 Air Headless, I had major overheating issues. I was surprised now much it relied on using the lid as a heatsink
I love that closing the lid yields the exact same result
Jokes aside, if Apple did release the iSlab, they would probably make it cost twice as much as a normal macbook and call it a "revolutionary new kind of computing"
Nope
Oh my gosh I loved the "commercial" part. That was too funny. 😂
Steve Woz must be proud.. It's all coming back to loop 🔁 perfectly for his original vision of an Apple PC for the everyday enthusiast!
This kind of content is exactly why you are my favourite tech channel.
I woke up with this video. At first I thought that you have just ruined my morning, but I was so wrong. The ending made my day. 😂
This setup will go hard with the immersed visor when it comes out this year.
Upload the commercial on its own! That was great!
Literally watching this while working from my couch on my pc, connected to my tv, using a wireless keyboard and trackpad combo :)
Dude this is mindblowing
2:25 guitar pick, noted.
I dont know nothing about the Apple Vision in terms of software, but arent you able to use normal macos apps because of the m3? And then just use a Bluetooth keyboard?
Great idea and video.
The fake commercial was hilarious too.
You’re one of the best Luke!
the commercial was hilarious, and all the details you have put into it was awesome!!
would it work on a screenless mac (like a studio or a mini) so you could have Vision Studio or Vision Mini?
I think you just showed us the future of the Mac. Totally portable, any size screen, anywhere you go.
The commercial is so funny! ❤
Great idea for my 2017 "FlexGate" MacBook Pro. My screen is almost unusable and it's hardly worth spending the $$ for a replacement display, so why not use it with the Vision Pro? In fact, there may be a whole new market for old MacBooks with serious display issues. My question is, is there a compatible MacOS that will work with the 2017/24 Mac/Vision Pro?
Sadly, no. That Mac only runs Ventura, and Sonoma is required. The very next MacBook Pro (2018) would work though.
It’s really cool what you did!
Man the clip at the end was incredibly hilarious.
Pretty cool. This looks like really great use case for the Vision Pro.
On Quest I've noticed that only the very center of what you're looking at is actually sharp. If I were to look to any of the edges without moving my head, it would be blurry. Is it the same on Vision Pro?
Hey Luke, what do you recommend for replacing the battery in an older MacBook Pro? I have a 2015 MacBook that needs a new battery, but I guess Apple no longer has the batteries in stock. Are iFixIt batteries any good in your experience?
The ad is so funny 😂 thank you 🙏
very creative! i love it!
well you've just gave me the solution for my "cable gate" problem I have on my macbook pro touch. The repairs to fix it is the cost of a apple vision pro so ... Thanks!
Would the vision pro be capable just to connect to keyboard and trackpad and have all the computing done in the hedset?
honestly, attach one of those smart covers to where the screen hinge is so it can protect the keyboard in transit, and flip around into a little stand to angle the keyboard up, and I'd probably rock that setup.
I love the idea and I need it also.
It would be really awesome if there ware something like hook to detouch the sceen.
true innovation, well done!
Great Commercial! Thanks!!👍
Is it only working with MacBook keyboard or it’s possible to use iPad keyboard too?
Hmm it would be cool if you could sorta make a magnetic display thing. so when you need the inbuilt display you have it but when you want a large tv exp, you can just yeet the display off.
This ended up better than I thought it would.
Does it work with a Mac mini or Mac Studio? That would be the use case where the Vision Pro provides the virtual screen, no modifications needed.
That's kind of genius!!! LOVE it!!!
so happy that this style of using a macbook headless is making a return again
Great job my dude. Really doing the fun stuff with the Vision Pro
It’s kinda mind-boggling how Apple hasn’t seen you value and set you up with free new models every year. You’re very unbiased and will point out mistakes but you’re generally very into their work.
Seems like a mutually beneficial thing. You’re the Apple based RUclipsr I’m most proud of by a long shot.
Anyways! Happy new years and when money is looking better I’m gonna join and pay the monthly fee, your content is worth it.
I legit got the MacBook Air after watching your videos.. iPad Pro, iPhone, AirTags, AirPods, etc since. Apple owes you a shoutout at least lol. I wonder how many people bought stuff cause we trust you.
Thanks Luke ☝️
Can you make the same test but with a old MacBook Pro 2012, running Sonoma with an alternative installation?
I actually need this.
Can you use spacedesk in order to have a second monitor on vision pro?
This looks really cool! Great job Luke!
It's very interesting. May I use Mac mini to mirroring vision pro without display？
This is the perfect use-case for these.
The VisionBook Air Max Ultra, of course.
omg the b/w mini video at the end had me balling laughing
Could you add a 2. screen in the vision pro?
Or change the virtual screen to a ultrawide?
Instead of removing the top of your Macbook for screen mirroring, can you just use the AVP with an iPad, iPhone, iMac or Mac Studio?
Loved the awesome idea! And the ad was so funny! 😂 😂
