Would it be better if you can give a range in kg and hours

1. Budget : 1.5~2.5k
2. Usage : layar lowyat.net, light illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, mmo games (eve online)
3. Requirements: light (1.2kg below), battery last longer 4~7,8 hours, 13~15 inch fhd, have m2 slot, if got pci slot better, ram and hdd must self upgrade able, ips optional...
Sorry to many request...
Also must powerful that my current tablet....
Lenovo miix 510, i5 7200u, 8gb, 240gb pci, ips,...

Niece needs a laptop. Need help to find a good one since I no longer have the luxury of time to do my own research.

1. Budget : RM 1,500 max
2. Usage : Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Power Point). Web browsing. Whatever typical high school girls use their laptops for.
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : Below 15.4". 14" or lower would be better due to weight. No specifics on battery life. Weight ideally under 2kg.

I've done some light search and found this laptop. Is it anygood?

Edit: Main problem I see with this is the abysmal storage size.

If you want a good<1.2kg laptop, you need to up your budget

For such budget, better get used business laptop with 1 yr warranty. Much better build quality and better performance. Maybe need to add RAM/SSD and new battery

Around minimum how much?

The closest one would be Lenovo Ideapad 720s 13 Ryzen 81BR0054MJ/55MJ (costs 2779 from last time I checked), however battery life is inconsistent (3-7 hrs), CPU performance is below average and the RAM is non-upgradable

Most <1.2kg laptops don't have HDD

if increase to around 1.5kg, is there any?
13 inch...
asus vivo book s seris any good?
or dell inspiron series....

(RM2599, last time checked) Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-55JD/57FD/59T5 +RAM, only thing is it has low sRGB IPS

Vivobooks are medicore in general

Inspiron series only 7000 series good IMO, however price is too high for most models

last time using 7000 series max spec (fhd), but sold it this year to my boss,
look like i just save an wait for 2019 xps 13...>.>

Hi sifus and gurus
Looking for suggestion

Budget: can go till 10k

Usage: Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Ms Sql server Express, Mssql management studio, Virtual Box and maybe some other heavy stuff of software dev tools..
and other basic stuff like chrome, firefox, office

Requirement :As above, can run multiple instance of visual studio (~3), visual studio code, sql management studio concurrently without having no issue of lagging and running IIS at background for testing/debugging..
might also run virtual box for linux at the same time ..

This notebook is planned as one time investment for maybe untill next 5 years...

Currently aiming at Lenovo X1 Carbon 6thgen(i7-8550u,16GBRam, 1Tb M2Nvme ssd) or can push to X1 Extreme(i7-8780H, 32GB Ram, 1Tb M2Nvme ssd) if wallet permit..

Looking for opinion and suggestion
Thanks..

Do you need Quadro? Preferred max weight in kg and min battery life in hours?

FYI it's usually cheaper by upgrading RAM and storage by yourself

Quadro as the graphic card nvidia Quadro? I'm not really into gaming..just wanna find a notebook that can cope with my software dev tools
for max weight, maybe 2kg?
for battery life, can go up to7-8 hours of heavy use..?

Ya Quadro GPU. Does your workload benefit from that?

7-8 hrs of battery life is impossible in heavy load
