Wait... I was expecting to see a number like 12 here.
my experience with buying used laptops is that you never get anywhere near close to that, especially as I usually buy older laptops. I'll settle for four. It's possible I need to be willing to spend more.
Also see the point about 200 browser tabs...
Are you able to get 10-12 hrs while doing a lot of web-browsing on sub $400 laptop?

Not too old a Chromebook? With 200 open tabs, this should be doable, I think, because inactive tabs don't take CPU on modern chromium/webkit implementations. Just some memory allocation.
Running tight controls on websites/ads also helps. I found that mullvad's blackholing DNS helps a lot because I don't see any ads. That's tons of CPU time (=energy) saved.

chromebooks are an interesting idea. I had one back in 2017 but switched to normal laptops because I couldn't run much other software on it (just did some digging and it looks like they enabled a linux environment around that time). I kinda wrote them off back then.
