Clarification - this is not suppose to be competitively priced, it usualy goes as a bonus to some of more expensive car purchase.

My guess is that for a lot of Porsche Design products, these are an answer to the question "What else can I buy that has the Porsche logo on it since I can't buy the car?" So some competition consideration is taking place when they set prices.

True. Well, arguably cooler than a Porsche baseball cap.

Well other manufacturers have had limited edition vehicles that can with accessories that didn't have much to do with cars other than branding. For some the exclusivity is a nice bonus.

still manufacturers run the risk of any technology oriented accessory or similar having issues and tarnishing the brand

I couldn't find information about the GPU.

It's wired that it's 100€ cheaper than Microsoft's Surface Book with similar specs.

I'd be interested how good the quality is.

It seems wired to think of Porsche Design as a competitor to Microsoft and Apple... You have for example the PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI MATE 9. But it costs 1400€ -> not competitively priced.

Porsche Design products (clothes, home appliances) are present in many malls, at least where I live. The design is very goofy (more so than even of their cars), and prices are competitive with higher-quality brands. Seems like there's a market segment which would trade some quality off for a sports car brand.

I personally do support your viewpoint, it's very unclassy to have anything car-branded if you don't have that very car.
