Well, it looks like Apple is not the only one with their spatial computing dreams with their Apple Vision pro as Sightful, a tech company known for pushing the boundaries of mobile computing, has unveiled the Spacetop G1, the world’s first Augmented Reality (AR) laptop. Unlike traditional laptops, the G1 boasts a screenless design, opting instead for a pair of AR glasses that project a virtual workspace.

The Spacetop G1 is a marvel of compactness. With a thickness ranging from 0.51 inches to 2.44 inches and a weight of just 3.08 lbs, it easily fits into a standard laptop bag. The included AR glasses are feather-light at 0.18 lbs, making them comfortable for extended wear. Despite its sleek design, the Spacetop G1 packs a punch.

The AR glasses feature dual OLED display panels with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels per eye, delivering crisp and clear visuals. With a refresh rate of 90Hz, the display offers a smooth and immersive experience. For users who require corrective lenses, Sightful offers custom prescription lenses at no additional cost, ensuring a comfortable fit for all-day use.
The Spacetop G1 comes equipped with a full-sized keyboard and a multi-touch trackpad for a familiar laptop experience. Connectivity options include the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, Bluetooth 5.3, and 5G capabilities. The built-in webcam allows for seamless video conferencing, while the dual speakers on the glasses and the 6W stereo base speakers provide a well-rounded audio experience.
The Spacetop G1 runs on SPACE OS, a custom operating system optimized for spatial computing. This innovative approach to computing promises a future where work and entertainment seamlessly blend with the world around us.
The Spacetop G1 is currently available for pre-order, with shipments expected to begin in October 2024. With its revolutionary design and powerful features, the Spacetop G1 marks a significant leap forward in mobile computing, offering a glimpse into a future where laptops are lighter, sleeker, and more immersive than ever before.
