But playing video games is not the same as working. I can play video games for hours without breaks, sometimes even a whole day, but I can't do the same for solving complex work task, like coding and debugging, or shitting through documents and spreadsheets, plus the constant interruptions and context switching of a work day which you don't have in racing videogames.

So I'll repeat my question. Will you and most AVP customer be able to actually put in as many hours of daily/weekly/monthly work in their AVPs as they usually do on their computer setup, or is that just a fantasy people tell themselves to justify the thing? Because so far, no AVP users have come forward with such claims.



I described my experiences in a sibling comment. But regarding the discomfort of long hours, I have been using it comfortably for 7-12 hours a day for six days now.

I had to go to the double strap to distribute the weight evenly.

You also rethink where you want to be. My desk is still great, but a tilted back chair with a keyboard/pad on my lap is better for longer hours. That is where I am now!
