Any preference on weight and battery life? Max budget can stretch?

Well, preferably the ones under 2.5kg I can't ask too much for gaming laptop so anything goes and I don't care too much about battery life

Max budget probs 4200

All with 8750H CPU (needs undervolting, repaste is highly recommended):
1. Illegear Raven with 144Hz IPS - with fan control software
2. Asus GL503GE - need to find good deal
3. Commandos Glock 5 with 120Hz IPS - idle fan noise needs some tuning

For your budget, you won't get a decent laptop with 1060 GPU unless you're willing to sacrifice cooling and some build quality

Hello all, feel free to add your own opinion of what laptop to get

Budget:
3.5k-4.5k, max 5k if really necessary.

Usage: VERY light gaming (oldschool runescape lol), Beginner coding, media consumption.

Requirement:
- Battery life: min 5 hours battery life for light usage. If can go to 7-8 even better
- Display: 13''/15'', preferably 1080p screen to save battery
- Weight: 1.3kg-2kg
- Brand: No preference as long as can last me 3-4 years minimum
- Good keyboard
- No need: touch-screen & convertible/2-in-1

Basically looking for an ultrabook, but not sure what to go. Friends keep recommending me Macbookpro & XPS. Any ideas, sifus?

Do you need dGPU? Do you mind low sRGB display? Do you need macOS?

No one can guarantee a laptop (any brand) can definitely last long, it mainly depends on luck

I probably do not need dGPU for my usage. I don't need macOS and i probably don't mind low sRGB display since my current laptop doesn't have a good display anyway and i'm kinda okay with it.

Hi guys

Attached Image

Between these 2, which is better. I lean more towards Asus due to SSHD inclusion as I'll be using this laptop for a lot of office works & photoshop. Gaming usually FF XV & planning ahead for DMC5. But HP omen has thunderbolt port & 144hz screen. My budget is 5K & if you guys have other recommendations within the price bracket, please suggest away. Tq
