The price is also reported to have climbed from an early projection of $3,000 to around $3,900, placing it well above Huawei’s MateBook Fold, a similar 18-inch model that sells for about $3,400 in China. Huawei’s machine, however, features a Kirin X90 chip built on China’s two-year-old 7nm process – a reminder that China remains several generations behind Western fabs. By contrast, Apple’s collaboration with Samsung keeps it tied to the cutting edge but at a much higher cost in both engineering and price.
$3,900 for a tablet (even a foldable one) does not sound like a viable proposition.
You couldn’t really take them to a Starbucks though. This feels more portable for what many people use computers for on casual setups (shop, music and videos).

It’s about prestige. Once it catches on and rich people are seen with it, normal people will start buying them too to look prestigious too.
You could have said the same about the Vision Pro, but that’s pretty dead

Crazy but true.
That’s the price of my work laptop from the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
