The assembled saw telescopes from 86 to 123 inches, including the 8 inch bar.

Weight is 13.5 pounds (with battery pack) according to specifications, and pretty close on my scale.  There might be a pound or 2 difference between battery packs, and with the new bar oil tank.

I don't know what the pricing will be.  That will vary with which battery and charger is included, or if it is sold as a 'bare' tool for someone who already owns the chainsaw, hedge trimmer, or string trimmer (same batteries and chargers).

As a side note, not having a gasoline motor running removes a lot of distraction, making this tool very easy to use, and very easy to communicate with co-workers - nice when working overhead.  On/Off simplicity.  I have an electric pole saw (Remington) with these advantages, but it does not feel as well made, or as well balanced, and of course, the cord can be an issue some times. 

As noted, the chain does not spin as fast as a gas powered pole saw, which could be an issue for production work.  But I think that pole saw work tends to be slower and more deliberate than production felling or firewood production.

Nice tool for a homeowner.  Could be a good choice for a landscaper, groundskeeper, or arborist.

I think I actually like this tool more than the battery chainsaw.
