So my wife is currently in school and doing field work as part of the class. She has been using my programming/side gaming laptop but its biggest issue is because it's meant for gaming and power its battery lasts maybe 1-2 hours and she can't always be near power.
Can you guys help me find an affordable ($500 or less hopefully) laptop, the only real requirements are:
- 4-6+ hours off battery while doing word and email
- main storage is SSD/nvme for fast booting
- usb c power
- runs actual windows
-enough ram to handle 20ish chrome tabs while doing a paper lol
- and preferably 17" screen but that's not a huge issue.
Any laptop gurus able to help point me to some good options?
