can i have some recommendations too? i want to get rid of my old Lenovo Y400

my new laptop criteria as follows;

budget: around RM2k
usage: browsing, utube, regular office apps (ms word, excel and etc) and perhaps routing/switching configuration via serial cable
requirements:
- light and thin
- not more than 15.6" screen
- IPS panel if possible
- with RJ45 port if possible

i'm targeting the xiaomi air (the m3 version) at the moment.. but kinda concern whether usb to serial cable will work since xiaomi air don't have ethernet (last time i tried usb to serial cable, didn't work at all).

probably only comfortable till RM2.4k

battery life if >4hour good enuff for me I reckon.

even my Y400 can only last 2.5h with battery saving mode.. lulz

yeah im cool without the ethernet port

i prolly wanna try other brand other than lenovo

for the Swift 3, is there much difference between ryzen version vs the i5 version? i hav no need for dedicated gpu
