Looking good display laptop budget around 3k+- spec can be i5 or R5 to recommend?

wait time? max can go hw much?

No rushing, can be 3.5k maybe?
Focus on good colour display due using MBP, just want find a secondary laptop for windows.

100%sRGB / 72% NTSC good enough?

anyone know where to get asus vivobook tm420u ?
Asus official only reply "No"
Lazada/Shopee seller with stock doesn't seems unreliable.

Any recommendations for heavy Office users? IE multiple Office applications (teams, video meetings, excel, ppt), some light-medium photo editing, while having multiple chrome tabs says 20-30 tabs and music playing at the back.
Need to get it asap within a week because this current one is failing me. Can't load 2 excels or open 4 chrome tabs without freezing for 10seconds 🤦‍♀️

I've 2 sets of options in mind

Budget:2.5k
Requirement: good battery min 5 hrs, max 1.5kg, non-upgradeable RAM is fine. Display 13 is ok
Timeline:asap within a weeek
Option: thought about getting Huawei mate15 but can't get over the weird camera angle.

Or I can stretch my budget to 3.6k-4k absolute max
Requirement: good battery min 8-9hrs, upgradeable RAM is best, max 1.4kg the lighter the better, 2 in 1 convertible is better. Display 13 or 14.

Thank you in advance.

Ps- is it safe to get used or refurbished unit on Shopee or Lazada? I'm aware about the potential build quality issue but any security/privacy concerns?

your current laptop don't have SSD?

for your budget either sacrifice specs or build quality, a bit asking too much - unless can stretch

Nope it's HDD 😂
Any specific specs or build quality I should reconsider to bring it down to my budget? Need to be a bit cautious if I can stretch a new purchase to 5 years like my current one did.

To clarify I previously used ThinkPad but now a commercial HP.

Edit: The importance goes from performance > battery life (I usually dim screen and optimize battery to stretch to 7hrs on previous thinkpad) > weight. Current one is 1.65 and that's too heavy. Think I can go for 1.5kg max

Option:
1. HP Envy 13-AY0122AU HP TOUCH SCREEN LAPTOP (AMD RYZEN 5 4500U, 16GB)
2. Lenovo 14" Ideapad 3 Gen 6 AMD Ryzen 5 5500U Processor W10H 4gb+8gb
5. Lenovo Yoga slim 7i

since you can't wait long, you'll not getting the best models possible

can consider Huawei Matebook 14 with 4600H but no upgradeable RAM, not a 2in1

edit: alternatives with 5700U:
Dell Inspiron 14 5415: https://shopee.com.my/Dell-Inspiron-14-5415...662.10012621527 (this one not bad)
Lenovo Ideapad 5 14 82LM006QMJ: non upgradeable 8GB RAM, lower speced IP5 (45Wh battery, plastic build etc)
Lenovo Thinkpad E14 G3 20Y7S00300: battery a bit small, a bit heavy

display size does not matter, as long as the price is worth for me

Battery is does not matter too

do you really need oled?
better get something with dGPU, and 16GB RAM+decent screen

for now there isn't a model that I would recommend unless you fine with lower specs (MX450 or 1650)
I would also recommend business laptops like Latitude lol
