I believe there hasn't been any significant updates since your initial message. If you're looking for built-in 5G connectivity, your choices are somewhat restricted. Among the top recommendations are the Dell Latitude 9430:

This model remains lightweight yet may not impress you on battery endurance.
If you're okay skipping 5G and prefer a highly portable device with solid power when needed, it stands out among options:

Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X
Featuring Ryzen 9 and RTX 3050, this 14-inch model offers a unique combination of performance and portability.

Consider skipping the Nvidia graphics option to cut costs. Even the entry-level package for £1,000 provides a reliable choice; it's a 14-inch machine with minimal bezels around the screen.
Another choice to think about is the Razer Book 13. It offers a chassis build quality similar to your Macbook:

It measures 13.4" with extremely thin display bezels. Notebookcheck reported more than 14 hours of battery life while browsing the web. The only drawback is its use of an 11th generation i7 CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads. It isn't a slow processor, but you won't find it matching performance elsewhere. This could be perfect for your needs.
Price from Razer: £1500
