Relatively thin, lightweight design ; Great visuals ; Improved tracking with Quest Pro controllers ; Face- and eye-tracking are a boon for social VR

Lack of killer AR apps ; Can get uncomfortable over long periods of wear ; Limited battery life

Impressive natural face expressions and eye tracking ; Features both virtual and mixed reality ; New self-tracking controllers with haptic feedback

1-2 hours battery life ; You do get tired of wearing the headset ; Very expensive

Blending the real world with the digital one, the Meta Quest Pro is a headset that has both virtual and mixed reality - while it's not fully there yet, it does start to open doors for all sorts of new uses, be that for fun or for getting work done.

Very good display due to the pancake lenses ; Fastest processor on the market ; Face and eye tracking ; High wearing comfort ; Good memory configuration ; Self-locking controller
