42Whr battery is pretty a standard indeed.

But I would strongly suggest to pop in another 8GB stick to enable the dual channel capability. It will improve the performance a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y...RaU
I was referring to Acer one in Costco.
8GB "LPDDR5" RAM is always NON-removable and NON-upgradable.
This Lenovo Ideapad 1i has 8GB DDR4 soldered PLUS an empty SODIMM slot for upgrade.
The Ideapad Slim 3 is a more compact 14" with backlit keyboard and larger SSD. However, the RAM of that is not upgradable.
Bottom line: both laptops are comfortably capable for daily office tasks, web-surfing and media consumption.
After my last brand new $1000 Acer laptop I'll never buy one again. Had multiple "1 in a million" defects according to their customer support. Had to send the laptop off multiple times to get stuff fixed brand new out of the box.
All that being said $300 is okay for this, you can upgrade to 16gb ram for $320. No upgradable storage which kind of stinks. I would save and wait for something $350-400 with 16gb ram 512gb ssd, or at least the option to upgrade. Also look for touch screen and backlit keyboards if that interests you.
