Prefer gaming/performance laptop or regular laptop/Ultrabook?

9th gen and 8th gen got so many SKUs...like i5-9300H is faster than i7-8565U in reality...which one you want

Hi guys need recommendation for new laptop (previous old phenom laptop screen cracked)

Basic use and some gaming

Some requirements :

- As light as possible (because previous laptop very heavy when travel)
- Decent future proof
- Can play dota2 level games at capped fps medium settings
- display higher than 60hz if possible(not neccessary, can sacrifice for better cpu/ram)
- no heat issue
- must have ssd for windows and hdd for storage

Preference

- my desktop is ryzen 2600, gtx 1080ti and the game i play use like 90% cpu usage (130~ true fps)

- ram higher than 8g if possible

Budget around 5k, can top up abit for more future proof

Please advice

Thanks

Illegear Raven / Raven SE (100% sRGB), need to fix power limit issue (if you want)
Commandos Katana 5 - weaker CPU cooling

Upgrade RAM by yourself

Fine with lower end GPU like 1050TI? Or you prefer regular laptop/Ultrabook?
