    The design makes perfect sense. You can trivially add an additional pack with capacity if that’s your use case. The included pack does the power management and has enough for plenty of people without being in the way, and it’s as simple as plugging in any source of USC-C power at appropriate specs to extend it.

      That would be a fine argument if the device didn’t cost more than my mortgage repayments. But for device that expensive, they absolutely need to put a decent battery on the thing.

        A “decent battery” is bigger and more weight to carry around that plenty of use cases don’t want or benefit from. It’s not small for cost reasons. It’s because it’s a worse device if you force it to be huge.

        The price is high, but only if you ignore how much tech is in it. A lesser but close dumb display from anyone else is thousands in its own.
