Cons:
The only disadvantage being it runs only on the Windows PC platform. Other users might have to lose hopes to lay a hand on it. Controller can be difficult to use. Some issues with the Viveport software. The price is very high and only high end customers are the potential buyers cause it competes with other devices at the under $800 category.

Priced at over $1009.97, the price tag is quite hefty but keeping in mind the complete package it is, the price is justified. If you are looking for the best experience and ultimate immersive feeling, the HTC Vive Pro Virtual Reality System is all you need. The best comes at a heavy cost for sure.
