Backup Laptop for $300

I already have a pretty decent laptop, but its battery life leaves something to be desired and since I just blew my laptop budget on it I only have ~$300 to spend on a cheap backup. It needs to have good battery life and be under 3 lbs/1.5 kg. I don't care if it has an HDD or SSD, but I would prefer 4GB of RAM or more. Chromebooks don't count, I'll be running windows programs on it.

Daily Driver: Redmi Book Pro 14 - Core Ultra 7 155H | 32GB/1TB

Primary Desktop: NCase M1 - Ryzen 7 7800X3D/RX 6950XT | 32GB/2TB

Travel PC: Fractal Terra - Ryzen 7 5800X/RTX 3060 Ti | 16GB/1TB

I have too many computers. List here.
