It sounds like the requirements fall into the pick any two scenario. (cheap was not mentioned)

I've used a few that fit into this category
Asus Zenbook, Samsung Series 9, MacBook 11 & 13

In terms of what lasted, the MacBook was the most resiliant. The others started to fall apart after the constant back and forth, travelling etc. Look for a used MacBook Air would be my recommendation.
