Spacetop G1: Cost and Date of Release

On the Sightful website, units may be booked for $100. The Spacetop G1 has a starting price of $1900. The laptops are expected to begin shipping in October 2024. 

TOP Space top G1: Design

The Spacetop G1 seems to have had its screen severed right above the hinge, like someone looking an axe at a black business laptop. 

This is because the built-in 5MP camera and storage cubby for the bundled Xreal AR glasses is hidden behind a foldable shell rather than a display linked to the keyboard deck. 

When folded back, the case supports the camera and protects the glasses with a robust black cloth shell. As soon as you pull the cover forward over the laptop's top to "close" it, the Spacetop G1 resembles a laptop with sleeves that have a noticeable bulge in the middle. When you put it all the way back, the cover folds back to reveal the glasses cubby and maintain the camera array facing your direction, much like when you open a clamshell laptop. 

The bulging glasses pocket in the cover is a beautiful addition, even if it feels awkward to carry. At the same time, the laptop is closed since the glasses are connected to the device and cannot be removed for convenient storage. 

It is unsettling to carry about knowing that there is just a thin casing between you and a pair of pricey AR glasses tethered to your laptop. So, I do wish there was a way to make the laptop even thinner. If you want more protection, you could fit the Spacetop G1 inside most laptop sleeves while they are closed since they are thin enough. 

Spacetop G1: Display

The Spacetop G1's main selling feature is that it doesn't have a typical laptop display; instead, it comes with a pair of Xreal glasses that are connected to the laptop and, when worn, are said to give you a "screen size equivalent to 100 inches" that seems to be hovering in front of your eyes. 

We've used it for a short while, and I can attest to the size of the Spacetop G1's usable "screen" area. Though you can drag and drop windows to position them at almost any angle around you, the Spacetop G1 provides nearly 360 degrees of display—we're not sure how close it is to 100 inches of real space. 

The Xreal AR glasses that come with the package are responsible for this look. They include two OLED display screens that are supposed to provide 1920 x 1080 pixels per eye at a refresh rate of 90HZ. They claim to give 42 pixels per degree (PPD) and have a field of vision of up to 50 degrees (diagonal). If you use glasses, you can also have a pair of custom prescription inserts manufactured for them. 

In my limited experience with the Spacetop G1, we found that the "display" was simple to see and use, particularly when you get used to lowering the glasses' brightness (via a button on the side) to account for surrounding light. We watched a YouTube video in one video while using another to browse the internet, and no matter how or when we rotated our heads, the contents of the video stayed crisp, clear, and in focus. 

TOP Spacetop G1: Performance

The Spacetop G1's outdated Snapdragon QCS8550 SoC and meager 128GB of flash storage suggest that productivity is its primary focus rather than performance. The real usable space is 102GB since SpaceOS also takes up some of it.

However, the 16GB of RAM keeps things running smoothly while multitasking, and we found Space OS to be quick and simple to use during our short Spacetop test. Because it's Android-based, we didn't miss Windows' full capabilities –well, you got me –we basically just missed Steam – but we had no issue with writing, reading, and browsing email. 

Can you see the little white star-shaped key next to the Left Ctrl key in the lower-left corner? Sightful wouldn't tell me what it did (yet), but that's the "AI" key, 

Regretfully, we were unable to explore SpaceOS extensively. We can confirm that the laptop is equipped with an "AI button" (not the Windows Copilot key) and can do "48 TOPS of AI compute," but we are unsure of the precise AI functionalities that will available on the Spacetop G1. Sightful still needed to prepare to discuss it. 

We know that Spacetop will function as a Chromebook when it launches, meaning you can utilize online apps for applications such as Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, and the Google suite of apps. The Spacetop team notes that after launch, the device may eventually have the option to install and run specialized Android applications. 

Spacetop G1: Ports

The Spacetop G1 features only two USB-C ports on each side of the chassis, not many connectors overall. Additionally, the number of types of peripherals you may use with the Spacetop is rather restricted since you have to use one for charging. 

Of course, the Spacetop is designed for something other than intense gaming or labor-intensive tasks, and it is equipped with many powerful components or a separate GPU. Furthermore, it seems reasonable that the Spacetop ships do not have a headphone connector, given that the AR glasses come with a pair of speakers.  

Spacetop G1: WEBCAM 

We confirmed that the 5MP camera built into the Spacetop G1's front cover is a webcam by secretly opening the camera app and snapping self-portraits while attending my Spacetop briefing. 

Therefore, the Spacetop's camera produces good, although slightly grainy, picture quality, even if we haven't had a chance to test how well it functions during video chats. Though the angle is still a touch less attractive than most webcams, and we saw a little more chin and neck than we'd prefer, the camera is situated higher on the G1 than on the Early Access Spacetop. Additionally, you are forced to wear a hefty set of specs throughout your Zoom chats, as you need to wear AR glasses in order to view Spacetop's interface. 

SpaceTOP G1: AR Glasses vs. Spaces

AR laptops like the Spacetop G1 promise to relieve us from hunching over our computers if they're secure and comfortable enough to use for extended periods of time. Our back feels more contorted than an extreme athletic event from the 1990s, having spent a lifetime composing articles on the fly while hunched over a 13-inch laptop screen on my lap. 

These days, we always take a laptop stand with us in case we need to work on the road, but an AR laptop like the Spacetop G1 may permanently remove that heavy addition from my carry-on. Putting on a set of AR glasses and seeing all of your windows and applications floating about you as you left them gives you a feeling of freedom and lets you gaze up, down, and all around while working. 

We find that using the Spacetop G1 offers a somewhat better experience than using a more conventional set of AR glasses (such as the Xreal Air 2) with a regular laptop since, with the latter, all you get is a relatively static PC desktop overlay that moves with you. SpaceOS is a little unusual because it uses sensors built into the glasses to allow you to "place" programs and windows at configurable intervals around you. You can then resize or reorganize them as needed, and SpaceOS saves your arrangement for later use.

Although it's a small change, it gave me a hopeful peek at a more ergonomic, health-conscious future in which we may remove the flat displays attached to our computers and desks and choose to wear AR glasses instead.

G1 Spacetop: Outlook

Although we are still determining Spacetop's feasibility and distinctive value, we are enthusiastic about its possibilities.

Sightful is marketing the Spacetop with the correct and rather convincing claim that it will provide you with more screen area than any laptop without any physical displays. However, another perspective we find even more appealing is the improved ergonomics that result from wearing your devices close to your face. 

Although the notion is a bit unsettling, it is also rather exciting—as long as they don't harm our eyes more than current displays do. We believe that the Spacetop team's ability to demonstrate that AR laptops can rival the greatest laptops available on the market in terms of functionality, comfort, and capability is excellent news for our backs and necks.

Naturally, it will take some time for us to thoroughly test and evaluate the Spacetop G1 before we can confidently declare how effectively it fulfills its promise. Keep checking back!
