After analysing a lot and reading different opinions from various forums where I posted this question, I believe that the best option is indeed to try a MacBook Pro.
Now that I live abroad, I have a need for really good battery performance in a laptop because I'm constantly moving and working while traveling. It seems that in terms of battery life/performance, nothing can match the efficiency of Macs.
However, I will probably wait until they launch the M4 chip in Macs, which I hope happens this year.
I've noticed that MacBook users rarely complain about their devices, but would you say they are worth the price? MacBook Pros are quite pricey, especially since the base model comes with just 8GB of RAM, which I believe is not enough. A good model could be close to $3,000, right?
Which Dell model did you get? An XPS? I've used Dell laptops throughout my student life and can’t complain about their performance and portability. However, I remember constantly needing to plug in my laptop. How has your experience been with the battery life of your refurbished laptop?
I have read and heard really good reviews about ThinkPad and what its your experience with regards to battery life of your T14? how many hours you will say can be working on it without charge it?

Again, thank you all for such valuable comments.
