I am looking to replace a my laptop black friday or so
I am trying to find a laptop that has decent battery life. 6-8 web would be ok, more better.
4050 ot 60, 1 open NVME slot, 16gb or more memory - upgradable is a plus but I can live with 16 soldered,
Main use will be web and office and occasional photo and video editing. I am not a gamer but sometimes play a game.
I am confused by current CPUs. How is AMD on battery?
I am considering
Intel Core 7/9 Ultra, AMD Ryzen 7 7/8xxx Intel Core i7/9-13/14xxxx.
I am ok with lower cpu power for better battery
I considered these

Despite being a pretty powerful system with a 2.5k display, it got 10 hours of web browsing battery life in this review:

How did it manage that? 86Wh battery, which is a big reason why it weighs 4.5+ pounds, without power supply. That's better than a 6lb gaming laptop, but worse than a very portable 3lb laptop.
Just thought I'd share that to give you a nice all-around system to compare to.
Edit: This recently expired deal for an open box Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i might have been good too, because it has an extra SSD slot
