Me and my co-worker was actually talking about that possibility. If they seriously make a portable PS4 Sony can absolutely name their price.
It would be really cool (though very very doubtful it will ever happen) if Sony made a laptop that was capable of running the PS4 OS as well as traditional Windows.

I assumed $249 based on past/general handheld launch prices, as well as Switch being down to that price by that time. This keeps PS4P affordable as well as competitive, with a whole lot of backing behind it. Change over to carts like Switch and PS has got a viable competitor. The hardware would have to be ARM like in Switch, but with the API built to easily (as possible) transfer X86 console to ARM handheld, a lot like Switch as well.
PS1 - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.
PS2 - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.
PS3 - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.
PS4 - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.
PRO -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.
PS5 - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.
PRO -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.
