HP Aero 13 is a proper ultrabook. Buy it with someone's amazon CC for 5% cashback. It can run very light games like CS GO, Valorant, etc.

If you need a bigger screen & better GPU:

RX5500M outperforms 1650 & 1650Ti. It is in between 1650 & an RTX 3050 80W. A good value. Add a 2nd RAM stick to it.

Should be at least 3-4hrs IMO on mixed non-performance tasks. Ryzen is very efficient, so there are gaming laptops with 6-8 hr battery life as well. Jarrod's test of Victus has 10+ hr battery life on video playback. People are claiming 6hrs on amazon.
