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?

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
