Hi all tech experts,

I'm looking for a working laptop that suits the following criteria icon_question.gif :

1) Battery life: Prefer to be average 8 hours or more, cause I will going around working. This is main criteria.

2) Design: Prefer modern thin & light look.

3) Keyboard: Prefer to have backlight on keyboard. I occasionally work in low light when my partner asleep. But if this cannot fulfil, leave it then.

4) Screen size: Just the normal 14 inches will do.

5) Processor (edited): Reply by user said i7 doesn't go well with fanless, if that is a problem, I prefer lastest i5 though.

6) RAM: 8GB

7) Graphics: No need advance, maybe Intel Integrated Graphics will do. I don't really game, video editing yes, but like family videos only.

8) Touchscreen: Not necessary though, I just want work and surf and do research.

9) OS: Windows 10 Home is enough for me.

10) Drive: I think 256 GB SSD is enough for me. No porn, just torrent videos.

11) Ports: Those USB 3.0 or so, audio jack, HDMI. Card reader is useless on me.

12) Color: I like black, but not the main criteria.

13) Fan: I hope to get fanless. Since I'm not running high graphic driven task, and I have SSD, fanless would be best option, improve battery life too.

14) Budget: RM 4k or below.

So here are my thanks to all who take time to read and find for me. May all the gods in the world bless you. wub.gif

I don’t think i7 and fanless go hand-in-hand

Perhaps like the suggestion above, Swift 5 would be okay

However, another option to consider is a 12” MacBook
It ticks these boxes fairly well;
- Fanless
- Thin
- Battery life
- Light video editing
- SSD size

However it is more expensive and only one usb-c port
