I want a desktop experience that gives me more than one day of working time, and its own independent internet connectivity.
I'm a bit confused when you say rules and exceptions. Intel processors are faster and will run better, but absolutely destroy battery life. However, most cheap chromebooks will have arm processors that get pretty decent battery life. There's rumors of qualcomm putting the snapdragon 845 chip into chromebooks (no timeline has been released), which will have built in lte support and will most likely have 20+ hours of battery life. Hopefully they come out sooner than later!
