Technology used to be more about solving a problem or making something difficult easier. This thing has no real use beyond "neat". But that Apple logo holds some very powerful magic for certain people.

No I have. Creating a product then finding a use is the very definition of cart before horse-ing. Marketing does most of the heavy lifting for getting people excited about crap they don't need, and Apple is the king of marketing.

It replaces all your monitors for your workstation in a single portable device. That alone is worth it for a lot of people.

If you say so.

It replaced 1 single 4k Monitor. It can't do more than that.

It replaces as many 4k monitors as you can fit in virtual space around you.

You get one Mac Window. That's all it can support .

Everything else is "apps".

Check their own documentation.
