Acer Swift Go. Has more RAM and storage than the two you found, with an equivalent CPU.

I recommend this Acer Swift Go. I think it has everything you need. 2 USB4 ports and an HDMI which allows you to hook up 3 monitors. 2 USB-A ports and a Kensington lock slot and you can do some light gaming with that laptop. Although the battery life realistically is probably only about 4-5 hours.

The Acer's main advantage is its screen, which is the brightest at 400nits ... and a 100% sRGB screen, which produces fantastic colors. Has a very good 400nit 100% sRGB screen and a powerful Intel Ultra 7 155H chip.
