Currently have a Lenovo T16. Not terribly bad computer but still feel like battery life isn't really what I want it to be.

Is there something else out there that's relatively no frills that just works well and is reliable?

Just a heads up, pretty much any keyboard will feel like a downgrade compared to the T-series Thinkpads. I have a Thinkpad for personal use and an HP ZBook for work; the HP generally works well but has more strange hiccups than the Thinkpad.

Latitude 5xxx series. Good build / performance for an office setting. Rolled out hundreds of them over the past few years. I don't know what Dell calls them now that they have changed all of their branding.
