Best lightweight Linux laptop battery life for <=$800 used
What's the best laptop i can daily drive linux on for $800 or less if my main priority is battery life (no gaming (maybe Minecraft at most), mainly just web browsing, media playback, and programming (in neovim)). Researching this has gotten be conflicting results: I've read that you can't beat the M series battery life, and I've read elsewhere that since hardware decoding isnt supported on Macbooks, a Thinkpad'll be my best bet. I've used Linux on both ARM and x86 and I wouldn't really mind either; I just want the best battery life I can get
