I ended up on the wait list from the lottery, but I received an email at 2am this morning that I'm now in the reservation queue. My Steam account also says the same. There may be hope for waitlisters after all!

If I stream I can get ~2 hours on it. ~1.5hrs if I'm playing native. It charges very quickly through.

If I ever get to the point where I want to play more than 2 hours in a row, which doesn't happen with a family and responsibilities, it'd be pretty easy to get a decent battery pack in the back pocket/beltpack and keep going comfortably.

Plugging it in while steated is super comfortable and you can play continuously on it that way.
