In theory you could use it for total privacy so nobody can see what you're looking at, but that 1.5 hour battery life just sours the price tag for me.
I can't exactly see myself walking around with a backpack and a VR set on my head.

To be fair, this is just the beginnings of a decent form of VR, as the tech gets better so too will battery life and a reduction in the size of the device will also happen
it's a steppin' stone, like how the first aeroplane was a steppin stone, no sane man would have sat as a passenger in one but look how things are now. it's probably a bad analogy but ya get where i'm coming from

You'd still be confined to the tracking area of the rift or vive anyways, and before someone asks the oculus headset with inside-out tracking doesn't use a PC AFAIK? The only headset this seems to really be a perfect fit for is the microsoft vr ones that are tethered but inside-out tracking.
That being said it is worth noting that like the article says, it's not like you have to only use this for VR. It'd still be a very capable desktop machine, I use my laptop which has virtually identical specs for VR and as a desktop replacement.

Honestly 1.5 hours is perfect as I don't see myself playing even that long without needing a break
It seems a bit pointless, buy a normal fucking laptop with a 1060 for 3/4 the price and get a screen and better battery life and put it in the free backpack you usually get
