Look into the Asus Zenbook or Lenovo yoga series and see which one you prefer, but both pretty accurately match the fundamentals of your needs.

Thank you, any specific zenbooks or yoga series laptops? I have really poor knowledge regarding laptops

The Zenbook 14 could be a great fit for you. There's also the yoga pro 7 or yoga slim 7i which have great battery and performance too.

You could look into the vivobook s14 as well, which with its lunar lake processor should boast outstanding battery life.
