Thinking about Apple vs laptops/iPads/phones/etc:

*** What is much better at? ***

Some obvious ones:
- Lots of pixels in wide field of view & lots of perceived 3rd dimension space => more places/ways to put/organize things
- Eye tracking instead of mouse/touch => standing/sitting no desk/lap, quicker, hands-free
- Finger(s?) flexing vs finger tip press => richer gesture language
- More immersive sound w/transparency => quality, aural cues including location

More?

* Privacy - no one can see what you are working on or viewing…

@ossa @danb ... but everyone can hear it. It's probably the best solution, all things considered (like added volume & weight), but adding headphone/buds seems like a pain.

@ednl @ossa I guess that while the ear speakers are probably somewhat directional, sound may leak out as you surmise. Perhaps when you want more privacy you can switch to AirPods. (As a user of hearing aids, I'm happy that they went to an external speaker instead of earbuds or earphones.)
