Need a few laptop recommendations please!

Hi everyone!! I hoping for a little advice on a good gaming laptop. I mostly needed it for school but since I game a lot on console I am gonna bite the bullet and buy a gaming laptop as well. I filled out the guide like a cool person. Thank you to anyone who is willing to help, I'm struggling over here. If you have anymore questions please let me know! Thank you so much, have a nice day/night.

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: I want to say my max budget is around $1500 (usa) but if the computer is 100% worth it I will go higher.
• Are you open to refurbs/used? I don't really mind them, but I have had problems in the past with refurbs so I rather have new unless it's from a trusted place.
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? I would like it to have a decent battery life, build quality and performance.
• How important is weight and thinness to you? I don't really like the heavy/thick laptops but if it is a good brand I will deal with it.
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I want maybe around 16"
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.- I am using this for schooling, gaming and coding.
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I will be doing some coding when it comes to certain games. I know I would like it to run games like Fortnite, Dayz, modded Minecraft etc. (Im not good at knowing FPS)
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I would like if the keyboard lit up so i can use it in the dark. I am going to be connecting monitors to the laptop so I would like it tho have a HDMI port.
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I know the school has requirements for what a laptop should have. I will list them below. CPU: Intel Core i7 12th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7 5000 series. GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 (Laptop GPU) or AMD Radeon RX 6750M+ OS: Window 11 or Pro.
