To the joy of tech and virtual reality enthusiasts, Apple recently announced its very own mixed-reality headset: the Apple Vision Pro. The device defines this era of technology, blending the real and virtual worlds. While it is primarily being marketed as an immersive AR device, users can easily switch from augmented to full virtual reality using a dial. So, let’s look at a few key things to know about the Vision Pro headset: Design The Apple Vision Pro headset has a premium design, enough to justify the heavy price tag. One can think of it as a computer in the shape of sunglasses. Sporting a sleek look, the wearable device is designed with high performance, portability, and comfort in mind. It is surprisingly compact for a VR headset. At the front of the headset, users can find a three-dimensional laminated glass flowing into an aluminum frame. The display layer also houses a feature called EyeSight, which reveals the user’s eyes and lets those nearby know when they are using apps or fully immersed in an experience feature. The front portion also acts as the lens for the numerous cameras and sensors built into the device. The aluminum frame gently goes around the head.

Even in this age of smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, laptops hold their own and are used by students, individuals in various professions, and others alike for countless purposes. Laptops help drive a range of operations daily, but if one does not use these devices in the right way, then their overall performance and longevity are affected negatively. Thus, here are several common usage mistakes and bad habits that laptop users must avoid. Putting laptops on padded surfaces Laptops get heated up relatively quickly due to the number of operations users often run on their devices. These devices come with powerful processors that heat up quickly. Therefore, tech experts and mechanics often tell laptop users to “let their device breathe.” This is why placing one’s laptop on a clothed or padded surface is a bad idea. The cloth prevents the fan and exhaust ports of one’s laptop from cooling down through air exposure. This causes the residual heat of a laptop to stay within and further heat its internal components. All in all, placing one’s laptop on clothed surfaces tends to reduce the device’s battery life and overall longevity. Constantly charging the laptop A common sight in workplaces, houses, and classrooms these days is users keeping their laptops plugged into power supplies or power banks for 7 to 8 hours straight.
