It's not limited to these 3 models. The budget is $850 max. Other laptops with at least 9-10 hours of battery life are welcome. I have a habit of having around 25 tabs in chrome, so the battery life of whatever laptop I use isn't great. it's ok if the laptop is used.

I've provided links in the poll. The use case is good performance with long battery life. Budget is $850 max. 

I see you provided links in the poll but...people will feel more inclined to help if the can flat out click it in the topic or if you have the specs listed. 

Call me lazy but having to click the poll to go to the link to type it in or copy and paste and remove the extra text is too much for me to WANT to help. 

 

Just saying, people will help more if you help us a little more =p

You need 16GB RAM then (or 8GB with upgradable path)

For this budget, you need a bit of stretch to get 9-10 hrs battery life

 

HP Envy 17t - good sRGB IPS

Lenovo Thinkpad E480/E580

Acer Swift 3 15 SF315-52

Acer Swift 3 14 SF314-54

HP Envy x360 15t

HP Pavilion x360 15 cr

Lenovo Flex 6 14 (81EM000PUS)

Lenovo Ideapad 330s 15

 

Manual RAM+SSD upgrades are usually cheaper
