Impressive tech, but NO WAY am I paying ca. $2K on a smart phone OR tablet. I'd rather get a normal phone and an MS Surface Pro 4 for about the same amount of money, FFS.

Not sure what to make of this. Fitting a Snapdragon 855, 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage and a 7.5" screen into a small foldable phone form-factor is really impressive, and I can see why that costs $2k.

But what's the point?

I don't see what use case this has. Way more power than I could use for smartphone, and not quite a convenient form factor for a laptop even if you add a portable keyboard.

I think the technology is very interesting, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Which means I won't be paying $2k anytime soon.

We keep hearing rumors that Microsoft is making a similar device called Andromeda; hopefully, they (or someone) comes up with a purpose for these devices.
