Budget:
6-9k

I'm looking for suggestions on an Ultrabook as I travel a lot for presentations and often need to reply emails, come out with proposals for clients on the go.

Currently looking between the XPS 13 (2018) & Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2018). As both have similar specs, I'm having trouble to choose between them and hope that someone here who has used either one or both of them before could share some their experiences with me.

At present, I'm drawn towards the XPS 13 due to its aesthetics, but the X1 seems to suit my usage purposes more, though I've read elsewhere it's very easy to chip away the x1's matt finish + it's somewhat a QC lottery when receiving X1s as some of their keyboards may not perform as well.

Other ultrabooks suggestions are welcomed as well.

Usage: MS Word, Excel, Outlook, Google Docs, CRM Programs, Occasional AutoCad Programs, Web Browsing, Watching movies during down time.

Requirement:
- Light & Portable
- Durable & somewhat future proof with ports
- Processor: i7/i5, please advise which would be better as i believe for my usage there wont be much noticeable performance difference between these 2 processors.
- RAM - 8/16GB
- Storage - 520 GB SSD
- Battery life: 8-10 hours on a charge if possible (Fast Charging would be great)
- Display: 13-14" (FHD is good enough)
- Weight: < 2kg (Lighter is better)
- Brand: Brands with great after sales support & warranty
- Good keyboard
- Good Bluetooth connectivity is a must
- LTE Connection would be a great addition.
- Touch Screen/2 in 1s are not a priority but can be considered.
