Lightweight laptop for video production with good battery life ??

I’m in the market for an alternative laptop to MacBooks, that I can carry with me in my camera backpack.

Ideally:

• Around 14 inches

• As lightweight as possible (including charger)

• Excellent battery life under light use

• Powerful enough for short video production (30 sec – 3 min)

I’ll often be carrying both the laptop and my camera for many hours, so weight and battery life are key factors.

Do you have any recommendations or personal favorites that fit these needs?

I have been looking at the Lenovo Yoga Pro, but it seems like the battery life on that model is not great.

I know MacBook is probably best, but my company is asking for alternatives.

You could get a really standard and basic machine and then pay for cloud editing services like Blackbird where you pretty much rent a high powered machine.
