I would recommend you look at the current crop 9750H + 1660Ti laptops with relatively larger battery.
Eg: Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED or MSI GS65 Stealth
Or, buy a Intel ULV processor based laptop like the Thinkpad and get a beefy machine in place like Hetzner Cloud

China has WeChat & Alipay.
India has PayTm & PhonePe (+others), the government also has a really good initiative called UPI.
South East Asia has a bunch of similar apps as well.
I think the developing world is ahead of US & EU in this regard, card & bank account usage is bound to decline in the long run.

In major metro cities fiber to home with >50 Mbps is common. Tier 2 cities and below have to depend on the state owned telecom provider BSNL who offers 2 - 10Mbps or cellular internet.
