Havent follow up It for at least 5years.
Need to get a new laptop for work, and probably surfing, watch movie etc.
Prfer a longer battery life and lighter one probably below 1.8kg for onflight use.
More of carrying ard so need something managable.

Went lazada to check out.
Seems like the asus zen and the dell xps15 looks cool.

Then should i just shop online like lazada or go to shop and buy?

Nowsdays does laptop installed with msoffice? Or i ned to purchase?
Office is a necessity and hope it will be included.

Prefer something below $1500.

Appreciate advice and recommendations.

Office trial is pre installed. However you would require either full office (no subscription) or an office 365 subscription (yearly renewal basis)

Some companies subscribe to such subscriptions. So logging into your corporate email account on outlook means free office as well. You can check with your IT department at work on such matters.

Check out the LG Gram :)

I am not sure how long a battery life you are looking for, but most laptops below 2kg also comes with moderate battery life. Depending on what you do, I don't expect them to last more than 4 to 5 hours max. If you are a light user, you can consider those that runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon SOCs which is expected to have significantly better battery life as compared to those running Intel chips.
