Need Help Picking Laptop

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

Up to 1200 Euro. (Located in the Netherlands.)

• Are you open to refurbs/used?

No.

• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

All equal, form does not matter.

• How important is weight and thinness to you?

Being lightweight is important.

• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

Preferably 14 or 15. 16 is ok.

• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

No heavy gaming. Beginner game development and maybe some 3d modeling, no rendering.

• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

-

• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

I do not care about RBG, fingerprint sensors and some unnecessary features.

• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Hi. I have recently been been looking for a (probably) gaming laptop. The Lenovo LOQ seems the best deal for me but I want to carry the laptop to school often as well, so I am looking for one that is lightweight.

I will use it for programming, beginner game development and maybe 3D modeling in the future, no rendering. If a laptop with an iGPU is good enough then that is fine with me. If the zephyrus g14 was the same price here as it is in the US, I would buy it for sure.
An alright battery is nice as well, I will not be using it for any difficult tasks when not plugged in.
Any advice?

Also, do you think the price of the Zephyrus g14 might drop in the near future for some reason?
