I would recommend this Lenovo X1 Carbon

it's built with a mix of carbon fibre, glass fibre, plastic and magnesium alloy. As well as giving it a pleasant soft-touch finish.

this makes it impressively light, weighing only 1.13kg which is light like you want and it will be carried easily as you will be carrying it a lot.

battery life (according to manufacturer): is 14h so it meets your requirements.

comes with 2 USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen1, 2 USB 3.1 Gen2, 2 Thunderbolt, 1 HDMI, 2 DisplayPort, Card Reader: microSD, 1 Fingerprint Reader.

it has a backlit keyboard which is roomy and has great key travel, making it rather comfortable to type on and they are quiet.

very good sRGB coverage. Wide viewing angles and a high

contrast ratio of 1,525:1 also contribute to the general loveliness of this screen.

you’ll find the speakers as well as a vent for cooling. Along the front edge of the laptop is a cleverly designed opening that looks like it serves a dual purpose. One is to push heat away from the internals and the other is to amplify the speaker sound.

IMO, the only con about this is that you pay a premium for the brand name , but with the high quality and amazing keyboard Thinkpad are known for it is worth it.
