  • What's your Budget? Around 70K
  • What will be your primary usage for the notebook be? Zoom calls, basic sound recording (planning on buying a USB mic), browsing
  • What size and weight considerations do you have? Preferably 13 -14" and weight < 1.5kg (the lighter the better)
  • Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest? Prefer to avoid Acer, Lenovo
  • Any other considerations? Need a good battery life ( > 5-6 hours) and a good webcam
Need this for a singer who teaches over Zoom calls, and does some basic audio recording. The Asus Zenbook 14 (link) would have been great but it does not have a headphone jack (!) so that's a dealbreaker. Surface Laptop 3 would have been a great choice if one could get it from the US (~60K there). Here it's too prohibitive (~1L+).

Appreciate any recommendations. The models we are considering so far are:
