Luke Miani removes the screen from a MacBook Air and tests using it headless as the host for an Apple Vision Pro virtual display.

HN cites it as a concrete example of a screenless MacBook paired with a Vision Pro or AR glasses.

There are people who have bought MBPs with broken screens and deleted the screen to use them with the Vision Pro. Works quite well! See ▶ this video .

There were some people doing something similar with the Vision Pro and detaching the monitor from a MacBook Air[0]. It looks really slick, but how well it actually works, especially given the drawbacks of the Vision Pro, is… up for interpretation. 0: ▶ this video

Apple Vision Pro can recognize a Macbook and turn that screen into the "theater" screen so you can continue using your Macbook as is with the keyboard and trackpad. There was even a Youtuber that got annoyed of the black screen on the Macbook when doing this that he removed the screen from a Macbook altogether[0]. 0. ▶ this video
