Hi, I'm from Indonesia,
Budget wise, it is around fx705 and gp73 8re, not sure how that translates since it is typically 35-40%% higher here (fx705gm is ~1400$ in indonesia, gp738re is a bit higher at ~1500$)
No problem on weight as long as it is under 3.5kg,
As for battery life, I usually use it plugged (with battery removed) and only rely on battery only for emergencies (blackout, train/plane travels).
The only USB C I had is my phone, and I backup it on cloud storage.
thanks
