Hi all, please recommend laptop with the below details within the budget of below RM3.5k:

Usage - Microsoft office, normal web browsing and video surfing, NO gaming

Criteria-

1. Good build quality
2. Long lasting battery
3. Lightweight
4. Fast OS and software bootup
5. Good display (if possible)

Thanks in advance!

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.

Have a look at Acer Aspire 5 (Online RRP: RM3099)

Intel i5-1135G7 processor (4 cores, 8 threads)
Intel Xe Graphics
8GB DDR4
512G PCIe NVMe SSD
Free Microsoft Office Home & Student
3 Year Local Warranty

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).
