    this one fits your criteria

    1) Lenovo Ideapad S340 Core i5 10th Gen

    10th gen ice lake processors are manufactured using newer 10nm process, this chip paired with 52wh battery should give you a decent battery life.

    The above reviews are of 8th gen models btw. 10th gen model can be found at Redline Technologies or winsoft.

    The laptop is relatively lightweight and having nvme ssd as a boot drive is an added advantage.

    Redline Price list <= Navigate to "Lenovo Ideapad, Thinkpad & Legion Laptop" tab and look under the 3rd column of first table.

    Buy from winsoft

    2) Acer Aspire 5 A515 (Also 10th gen but comet lake(14nm) instead of ice lake(10nm) )

    No ssd on this one. have 15 inch screen and numeric keypad. Gpu is slightly better as well.

    3) Asus X512F or X509F

    Again no ssd, ram chips are soldered directly onto the motherboard. New asus budget laptops generally have lower built quality and eventually run into issues. (keyboard/touchpad failures, screen artifacts, broken hinges etc.)

    x512f at barclays

    x509f at barclays

    Conclusion

    The lenovo s340 is overall better buy since it packs latest hardware with an ssd along with decent battery life. The a515 have better graphics performance for occasional gaming but that is not your priority I suppose.

    Feel free to look into dell/hp offerings as well, the general rule of thumb when it comes to buying a laptop is go for the newest gen cpu with a bigger battery. having an ssd adds lot more responsiveness in day to day usage. If graphics performance are important, pay close attention to thermals and fan noise as well.

    Hope that helps :)
