Doesn’t it have some weird and Very Apple design flaw where it’s hard to charge and use at the same time?

The battery is external, i.e. already next to you anyway, so plugging in power is rather simple. You could also have multiple batteries with you, though I don't know the price of an additional battery.

It's $200 for an extra battery, all of the accessories have a steep early adopter tax. Besides, has anyone confirmed whether or not the AVP has an internal backup battery so you can hotswap the external battery without rebooting it?

That'd be fitting. Maybe the charging port is inside of it right between your eyes so you have to charge it like their old mouse you had to flip over dead.

> charge it like their old mouse you had to flip over dead

That's not "their old mouse", it's the current mouse. We're still on the 2015 design with the charging port at the bottom. (I have one and I don't mind/care, I just chuckle once a month when I remember to charge it)

No. When it's plugged in it just passes the power through.

The annoying Apple limitation is that you can't hot-swap the battery.

I don’t know, which is why I’m asking. I can see it not charging as fast as it’s being used.

It's basically a laptop on your head, so a meaty 60w charger could be needed to power and charge it.
