That's exactly why I bought Fold4, not to have to carry my laptop around. I need to be available close to 24/7, and having your laptop with you is a chore. This phone, while heavy, is still lighter than laptop and does 90% of my needs when paired with small bluetooth keyboard. But I approached foldables with that idea. Replace Phone+Laptop with just Foldable Phone. And I do realize my use case is very specific, but for me it works.
I'm too used to my 34" widescreen gaming monitor, my 15" 16x10 ratio MacBook Pro screen, and my 24" 16x10 ratio work PC monitors to feel like I can do anything productive on a phone screen.
I bought a tablet a few years ago. I thought I was going to use it for reading eBooks and stuff. It actually just never gets used.
I have two 24" displays myself and comfort they provide is irreplaceable by small screen. However when I travel or go for a drink with friends carrying laptop is simply annoying.
