The Lisa was $10000, and the Macintosh was $2500. But the Macintosh didn’t get any cheaper until the Macintosh Classic in 1990!
If Vision Pro remains at $3500, then it’s likely to meet the same fate as the Lisa. Everyone is expecting the price to drop significantly, but that means the proper analogy is with the Lisa rather than with the Macintosh, and the next gen device will be analogous with the Macintosh. https://mastodon.social/@lapcatsoftware/111847399791870314
