iii) Ram : At least 8GB
iv) Storage : 128GB SSD + any size 7200rpm HDD

If you want as high as possible battery life, Ryzen models aren't going to be an option

You need dual storage? Mind non-upgradeable RAM?

I see. I wasn't aware that Ryzen laptops had worse battery life compared to the Intel counterparts (Judging from desktop TDP). Yes to dual storage, non upgradeable RAM is fine as long as I have 8gb to work with.

You mean i7-7700HQ and i5-8300H? Please type it correctly - i7-7700 is different compared to i7-7700HQ

8300H>7700HQ
