For comparison, Macbook Air starts at 13" $1100 or 15" $1300. iPad Pro is $800 or $1100 depending on screen size. Both have M2 chips, like the Vision Pro.

Functionality wise Vision Pro is a lot closer to an iPad than Mac, but it's also a lot 'higher tech' than either of them.

There's no way even a cheaper variant is priced under iPad.
