Regarding the price: there have been very few other machines with similar specifications (12", fanless, <1kg). All of them were significantly more expensive than the MBP. I can remember for instance of the Asus LaVie Z laptop, which was priced at $1700. Time to replace the battery of the MBP I've been using since 2015 I guess.
