But will you also bring a mouse and keyboard with you to the beach with your AVP for work on the soun lounger? I'd love to see that. Hell I'd actually pay good money to see that.
"Ladies and gentleman, come to see our latest attraction, today for your eyes only, feast your eyes on the 'techbro at the beach'. Please, no flash photography and no knocking on the glass."
I think it's pretty clear that "the beach" here means your hotel room/airbnb. You wouldn't usually travel with your monitors, so you'd be stuck with your 14" screen. That's the use case this is addressing.
But also, I think it probably would work well for hammock beach working in Ibiza. The biggest issue seems like it would be tan lines, getting bullied for being a giant Nerd, and your spouse/wallet killing you for buying a $3-4k headset and an Ibiza vacation.
Does it? In my mother tongue "to the beach" means the place with sand and water, not the accommodation.
But if you imagine it said in a fancy accent by someone holding a stack of bills totaling $4000USD does it change the meaning? “On the beach” has to be in very posh accent.
You'll also have a really interesting tan line...
Clearly not, as the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad are well integrated (as is just using your laptop trackpad and keyboard). It's akin to using a keyboard folio with an iPad. It's a fully usable product without it and tons go without, but the keyboard folio definitely unlocks additional potential.
The Ibiza-appeal would be that you can have a small backpack of stuff that lets you reach full productivity on the beach. I can't carry monitors the size I'm able to pop in on the AVP. To answer your question downwind, is it the same as like, an ergonomic desk set up? Nah. But it's pretty cool and surprisingly usable in many cases (this tricky spreadsheet is notable for not).
