So you need dGPU? Mind non-upgradeable RAM?

Personally I wouldn't recommend Surface products, don't like their anti-consumer behaviour
Vibrant display - you mean high sRGB?

Need dGPU?
Ryzen 2000 series will have less battery life compared to Intel KBL-R/WHL-U, would suggest other models

Preferred max weight and min battery life? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

max weight approx 2kg should be fine.
Battery life for office work, preferably 6-8 hours.
sorry but no idea with sRGB display.
prefer with upgradeable RAM but 8GB shall be sufficient for my usage.
was thinkin the envy x360 for awhile as I like the quality build and the portability. swift 3 kinda feels, flimsy though.

Higher sRGB = more vibrant colours. Fine with low sRGB?
If you never use Macbook before, I suggest you don't use (not bcoz of macOS)

If battery life and weight doesn't matter, why not performance laptops? (aka gaming laptops)

yea, fine with low srgb. btw, now I'm ready to increase the budget to rm4k if I can get a better model.

Forgot to ask: Is 2 in 1 convertible a must? Need dGPU / decent iGPU?

New models aren't that good in this price range
