The quest two is basically an android phone with special hardware/software for VR. It’s running android. It can be used completely standalone.

It can be hooked up to a more powerful PC and essentially just used as a monitor, but it can also run less demanding titles natively with no additional hardware. It has a web browser built in and you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to it. So you can do some stuff without a laptop/pc. There’s a good library of native games but if you wanted to make a PowerPoint or do office/work you’d likely be using a web app (or just connecting to a pc)

You can also install (sideload) Termux for a decent standalone Linux experience - vim, git, python, ssh...
