Most Endurance under $800
Need something cheaper? No worries; here are the lonest lasting laptops priced below average. Some tweaking and scrifices (like tuning the WiFi off to turning the screen's luminosity down) might be required but you'll have options.
There might be some overlap with the list above, but everything down here is considered budget-friendly.
