Thinkbook 15 G2 and configure as I did. But I do feel the high premium and steep price for going i5 and add to 2 years warranty (which should be the bare minimum for any laptops out there). But I totally won't suggest i3 version despite your overall lite usage, i5 is just so much more complete package and likely to age much better than the dual cores i3.

Another issue is the dubbed waiting time is 8-10 weeks....

But a niche plus point of it is there is Thunderbolt4 support (which is typically very rare for sub-RM5k laptop), which should make it even a tad more future-proof than those without.

This might be a little over your budget but I think it's a good one to invest in, the acer Spin 3. It's convertible and lightweight, fast processing speed, good and tough build to resist wear and tear.
It's durable and suitable for you if you're looking for a versatile laptop that will last (battery life is long too).

Advices
Dot not buy online, no experience to differentiate original or not.

Not sure about others but it's alright to buy from the brand's online store. All big brands like Acer, Microsoft, Hp, etc have their website and official homepage on e-comm sites like Shopee and Lazada. Products are genuine there so no worries (and sometimes online has better deals)!

Quite a mediocre laptop to be honest (CPU score seems weak despite the i5 model is actually powerful, quite lackluster display in terms of contrast and color space).
