And this all begins THIS MONDAY. Hopefully the rumor-mill will prove true this time.
Also note that Oculus is scheduled to be involved in at least 9 different sessions; you can get the full list of GDC here:
Down the Rabbit Hole with Oculus Quest (Presented by Oculus)

This new Lenovo is in my book an arguably fancy WMR device. You can get WMR devices for $199 - and they aren't exactly selling like hotcakes. What makes FB think THIS device is gonna make anyone on the fence about PCVR put down twice as much now?

People keep trying to describe a room-scale setup for High-End PCVR in a "bad" way. That to me is the funniest thing to come out of this debacle. Suddenly having a high-end setup is annoying... lol
Upgrade is the new Downgrade, Back is the new Front...

The price for my used Rift CV1 just went from 1K to 2K, thanks! Sensors can be bought separately from me - $500 per piece - hurry, this price is only valid until lunch today!

I've never used a WMR so I don't know how good/bad the 2-camera optical tracking is. But everyone who's used it says Insight is great. Constellation was always a janky jury-rigged solution that needed you to spend an extra $70 (I think?) on an extra sensor to get the best 360/room scale. Insight was built from the ground up to be the best inside-out tracking system yet seen. Aside from people putting what I feel is WAY too much emphasis on how well Insight works when controllers are out of the cameras' field of view, it seems like Insight will be as good or better than constellation - especially Constellation with just 2 cameras.
The OTHER thing you're getting over any other WMR headset is the Touch controllers, which are obviously the best out there right now. Even the HP Reverb won't have that. So you're getting a Oculus-ecosystem WMR headset with the best tracking and the best controllers. I wish it was $300 or $350, but still, I think you're getting a better headset than other WMR ones. And $200 cheaper than the Reverb which again, has worse controllers and only 2 cameras.
To me the only letdown is the displays. If they had gone with 2K by 2K per eye LCD like HP, or even something like 1700 by 1700, I think people would be a lot less disappointed - even with worse black levels. And of course the other option would have been to use the same resolution OLED as Quest. I really hope there's a "Rift S Plus/Pro" in a LOT sooner than 3 years that has either a higher res LCD or Quest-resolution OLED. Because that would be the thing for current Rift owners to upgrade to.
