I'll never get this reaction to foldables. Personally Im not in the market for them especially in their current state where they are super expensive, fragile, and for me dont offer much in the way of practical use.

That said it will be exciting to how this market improves. As eventually costs come down and reliability goes up you can eventually easily get something that is more portable than a modern slate form factor which can also unfold to allow for better media consumption.

For the ridiculous price theyre asking for experimental tech I get the pushback, but it it doesnt take a lot of creativity to see how technology that allows for a bigger screen in smaller form factor can be useful.
