Hi. I need a laptop recommendation.
Budget: up to 2.5k
Good build quality and not too heavy as my sister will be using it. At least 256GB 8GB.
Mostly for student use; office, movies etc.

Edit: Integrated graphics is fine. Good display is a plus but not a must considering the budget.

Thanks!

If you want good display, this is the only option for your budget. Unless you're fine without it
I'm fine without a good display.

Is this laptop worth it?

Any preference on battery life?

Any preferences on weight and battery life?

What's your budget? Also, need the laptop now or able to wait longer?

Ideapad 5 14 is fine but I would suggest getting 16GB RAM and 57Wh battery, maybe larger storage

Consider Swift 3 SF314-42-R8A9 / R43G

Swift 3 SF314-42-R8A9 is a bit over my budget at 2.6k. I just updated to 57Wh. No options to upgrade RAM but I think I'll be fine with 8GB for office applications. Adding storage also would push the budget over my limit. Maybe a future upgrade. I guess I'll proceed with this order. Thanks ZM.
