1200 AUD laptop for school

[Laugh lockwood]

Hello, as the title says im looking for a 1200$ AUD laptop primarily for school, i want it to be able to handle all that my course requires, so since i do a bit of programming and animation on a side if it could handle the lot thats all i need.

Some specs id like is:

CPU: 8th gen i5

RAM: 8gb

STORAGE: 256GB SSD

anything that exceeds these expectations would be greatly received, ive been trying to research my own laptop but have had troubles, i found a lot of dell computers (listed below) that suits my needs but it seems the reviews on such vary widely and since i want a minimum of 5hours battery life some of them werent too apealing.

If anyone can chime in with a laptop they might suggest that meets these requirements i'd be greatly appreciative.

I'd prefer a somewhat bright screen that i can use outdoors, but i understand at this price point not really expecting a massive deal. And weight doesnt bother me but as for aesthetics i'd like it to be slim and stylish, its weight does not bother me.

Thanks all!!

This one is a 2in1 that matches all my criteria.

Any preference on display size? Mind non-upgradable RAM?
