Battery life?
1 comments

Go for a midrange Chromebook then. It's all my wife uses, cost about $250 and has better battery life than most laptops on the market.
I don’t know, I kind of like 10 hrs on battery with normal usage and screen fully lit on a 15” screen while not being bulky. Virtually no contenders in that space.

10 hour battery life, 15 inch screen, not bulky, $200. A bit more money will get you better specs, screen or battery life from this or another brand, but it hits all the spots for someone who doesn't need downloaded software.
