Two months ago I bought me and my girlfriend an Acer Spin 3 Convertible Laptop. I find it portalble and thin enough with just 0.78 inches and 3.75 pounds. You got the advantage of a touchscreen, tabletmode and stylus. Even without undervolting I reached 10h of active worktime in class. With 80mV undervolting and locking it to 1,8 GHz I got to over 12h. I paid 700$ for the model with 16GB RAM and 512 GB NVMe SSD. There are even cheaper models with 8GB RAM and 256GB NVMe SSD.
Check it out here: Acer Spin 3 SP314 Convertible
