Before i use asus 45va laptop.... im not sure the weight... but from website... 2.3lbs (https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-Laptops/ASUSPRO_ESSENTIAL_P45VA/specifications/)... but i feel very heavy

At least can last for 5 years...

Then get premium business laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad T490, T590, T480s, T480 20L5S15K00, T580, X390, X280 20KFS1H300
Dell Latitude 7390, 7490
HP Elitebook 830/840 G5

No preference on battery life?

As long average battery life should be ok... as long the laptop lighweight and thin enough to carry to site.

How about illegear battery performance?

Again once you go gaming laptop you are not gonna get super long battery life - average can be anything

for some people 2hrs is okay. My question to you is do you wish to remain unplugged for long and do you wish to charge the computer via USB-C PD powerbank or not ?

I think will go for business laptop.... as long as can use autocad without lag

Are you rendering or viewing , viewing it's pretty fine - even MX250 can pump it well

Viewing and adjusting floor plan layout only...

Thinkpad - just look at their catalogue - T series if you can afford or X series - else look for L/E series

You need to get the optional graphics card , it will help with rendering work.

T480 - i5 with 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM , MX150 = RM4,433.85 but worth it

L480 - i7 ,512GB SSD , 8GB RAM , Radeon 530 Graphics = RM 4096 (can make it cheaper with i5)

Ok... i will add in my checklist... what ur recomend no mx250 graphic 😅😅..

Prefer having hdd for storage also.

Just survey... but hp elitebook g5 higher from my budget... any others hp model that less than rm4k that suit my requirement?

Dell latitude 7390 suit me i think... but regarding graphic, only intel graphic... can this laptop support autocad smoothly?
