It can’t use the same compute power for both simultaneously. Take the same hardware and remove the local gaming and suddenly you need much less power/have much more power. Not to mention you don’t need a battery.
Well I think you have a great conclusion that the bigscreen is probably a better fit for you since this headset might not fit your needs. I love my bigscreen v2 would definitely recommend (though I do hate the cable and the swimming goggles effect, and the eye tracking sucks right now) but other than that it is awesome
According to LTT, the section containing the computer just weights under 190 grams (that’s about the weight of an average medium-sized apple).
The battery is the counterweight… which is actually a good thing to have… I have a fist generation Quest and the main problem with that one was the weight distribution. Adding weight to the back actually made it more bearable. Just by looking at how thin the front part of this one is, I can tell this is gonna be so much more comfortable.
The battery is on your head, with the rest of the headset. Weight is a concern of the power required, not the available compute. The bigger concern is cost.
Do you wear a counterweight with your sunglasses? No one complains about the lack of counterweight on a Bigscreen. In fact everyone seems to agree it’s the most comfortable headset ever.

I know nothing about hardware development but I think it needs to have the computing power based on the inside out tracking.

Cool, the entire Bigscreen Beyond weighs 127 grams.
Do you typically put on a counterweight with your sunglasses?
Do you typically have a cable tethered to your sunglasses?
I personally would prefer the small counterweight instead of the cable, specially if it helps securing the glasses while I move around.
LOL okay buddy.
The battery is in the strap anyway and the additional weight for compute is likely very negligible.

The battery is functioning as a counterweight and is optional.
cost, absolutely valid though.
Oh, so you can hardwire it to the PC without a battery!?
I don’t see why not, but you probably wouldn’t want to because the battery is a perfect counterweight, making it much more comfortable.

It doesn’t have inside-out tracking. You can’t have both.
