Yes it's pricey, though you can get one almost new from eBay at 1/3 of the retail cost.
And yeah the batteries are great, `powertop` reported 55h battery life remaining at 60% backlight with a single `st` terminal window open. And the backlight is blindingly bright at the max setting, so it's also usable in direct sunlight.
The laptop will also charge off of any USB-C power source like the weakest phone charger, makes me think that it'll take charge even from serially wired potatoes.
