Strapping a heavy laptop tightly to your face is the farthest thing away from "convenient" I can think of, especially when compared to a laptop.
Then, the huge waste of compute power needed to run two separate displays showing 99.9% the same information, and to do it at huge resolutions to avoid seeing pixels up close, and then even more wasted cycles on filming, interpreting, compositing, and rendering your surroundings won't leave much room for a "powerful" device either.
