Absolute max budget? No preference on battery life? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

Battery life preferably around 6 hours. Not mandatory. Mostly will be used in office where powr source is available.

Monitor quality is not important actually. Preferably upgradable ram.

Can stretch to max 3.5k

Lenovo Thinkpad L480 - storage upgrade is complicated (if get HDD need add SSD via WWAN slot)
Lenovo Thinkpad E490
Lenovo Ideapad 530s 14 81EU00NRMJ / 81EU00NSMJ / 81EU00NTMJ / 81EU00NUMJ - no HDD
Lenovo Yoga 520 / Yoga 530 +RAM (1 slot only) +HDD (optional)
Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD / 57FD / 59T5 +RAM
Lenovo Ideapad 320S-14IKBR +RAM (1 slot only) +SSD

Small battery (>6 hrs):
Lenovo Thinkpad E490s - no HDD
Dell Vostro 5471/5481

Thinkpad A485 also good but you need battery upgrade in order to get good battery life which will make it heavier. Also, storage upgrade is complicated

Also, some ppl don't like the look of Thinkpad

1. OK-mediocre reviews from NBC and other popular sites - I might do my own review on it soon since my friend got one
2. Battery life too short, runs hot

Open to 15 inch?
