sorted byThe Pico is much more varied and aims to a gaming audience.
The apple vr is suppose to be for 'daily life'?

PCVR works really well wirelessly (with Virtual Desktop app) , but your PC needs a solid wired connection to your network hub.
Works with my back catalogue of Oculus PCVR games and also everything in Steam VR. If it's in Steam VR, you can play it.
Standalone titles wise, there may be some which you might not find e.g. beat sabre - but again you can get this on Steam VR.
I've sunk nearly 200 hrs into No Mans Sky VR - it's truly amazing.

Good price though if it meets your niche needs
I'm also torn between the pico 4 or psvr2. I like both formats! grrr. (my pc is an i7 9700 , 32gb ram and a gtx 1650 super gfx card) (edited)
To bring some numbers to that statement; the Steam hardware survey puts the Quest 2 at 42% market share, whereas the PICO4 sits at 2%.
If you're going to be using it exclusively for stand-alone, I'd strongly recommend holding out for the Quest 3 release. (either to go for the more expensive Quest 3, or grab a clearance bargain on a Quest 2).
There's also rumours of a 'Quest 3 Lite' which will likely target the same 'budget' market segment as the Quest 2.
It should be mentioned that 10 years old is too young for VR; 13+ is the recommended minimum.
If the focal point is 2m away, then it's no worse than watching TV or working on a PC.
Useful to know that marginal short sightedness can do without prescription lenses! (edited)
I just want one for watching TV/films on, would this be good or are there cheaper options that would do the job just as well?
I suppose there's always a chance I'll use it for gaming in the future but it wouldn't be the primary use.
3D movies, the one situation where a VR headset can actually add value to the movie experience, has been made supremely tedious by the movie industry.
Be prepared to re-encode all your Blu-rays into an SBS format before you can watch them on *any* headset.
