    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.
