Check out refurbished Thinkpads T480 (14in) in your area. I basically got one that basically ticks all your boxes. Additionally mine has 32GB RAM, 500GB NVME SSD and a free slot for another small formfactor NVME card. It has one internal and one removable battery, so you could get an additional one to switch on the fly.

The T480 was the last Thinkpad model with “real” upgradability and was a popular business choice. Companies unload them in bulk. When I was looking for them the availability was good.

Damn, for me Jeff, Dan and Mitch/Mike formed the new nucleus and were quite entertaining.

Usually I am open to change, when it comes from a creative directive. However Giant Bomb seems increasingly to be jerked around by corporate interests in faster intervals. I have doubt’s that GB will keep its identity and not just be a name.
