>I want exceptional battery life. You can get very good battery life with a modern "windows" (i.e non-mac) laptop with a bigger battery, and running a very lightweight distro like bunsenlabs (an optionally tweaking some CPU throttling parameters). In standby the battery should last close to a full day. With modern fast charging over USB-C, this works very well. You can also just get a modern Android Tablet with good battery life, and use a bluetooth keyboard + mouse with something like Termux on the backend. You can run vscode web gui for an IDE.
