Need Help for Laptop Recommendation

Looking for a laptop preferably below RM2500 (Somewhere between RM2000 - RM2500, don't really feel like going above RM2500 due to the requirements)

Primary Requirements:
Really lightweight and thin (Portable, carrying around a lot)
Long battery life
Good physical build - Not plastic build, thin bezel
Long lasting quality - Able to last long (my old Dell Vostro 5460 lasted me ~7 years until there was some motherboard issue)

Purpose:
Lady use, non technical work, mostly documenting patients' records, X-ray photos
Typical day to day usage, web browsing
No gaming needs, at most watching/streaming videos, playing songs

SSD - at least 512gb? (Feels like 256gb is not quite enough for basic installations)
RAM - at least 8gb? (supposed that's the bare minimum these days)

I have done some looking around and currently have these few in my shortlist:
1. Acer Swift 3 - Seems like the specs + dimensions + weight fits the bill pretty well. But it's not quite under RM2500, and I don't feel that good about Acer based on what I had in the past. (Not sure if this has improved over the years)
2. Huawei Matebooks - Kinda sad that it's not the Ryzen 4000s (I know I don't need this based on my usage needs ), but my main concern with this is that since it is fairly new, the longevity of the laptop is unknown.
3. Honor Magicbooks - Pretty much the same as the Matebooks mentioned above, these fairly new products are not quite known for how well they last. Don't want to end up with something of a short term win, but long term lose.

Would appreciate if you guys can provide some recommendations...
Thanks!
