QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Apr 9 2018, 06:17 PM) The only option that fits all your requirements is HP Probook 430 G5 (which requires RAM and SSD upgrade after purchase). Very hard to find a laptop that can meet all your requirements since most options comes with 4/8GB RAM and many of them don't have RAM upgrade path. Okay what if i choose 8GM instead? will have more option right ?There are options that's slightly heavier than 1.5kg but meets your requirements, also requires RAM and SSD upgrade after purchase: Lenovo Thinkpad E480 no dGPU (customizable in Lenovo website) HP Probook 440 G5 Lenovo Yoga 520 14 If you don't mind import stuffs you can also consider Xiaomi Notebook Pro 15. All options above come with KBL-R CPU. FYI i5 and i7 don't have much performance difference in ULVs due to cooling and TDP limitations. 8250U is enough.  |

Also consider 13 inch options like Asus UX331UN and HP Envy 13. speaker not an issue as i currently using Surface Pro 4, the SP4 battery life is terrible, around 4 hrs only |
