Laptop upgrade suggestions!

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: £1500

• Are you open to refurbs/used? - No refurbs or used please!

• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? - I need something with high peformance and an impressive battery life!

• How important is weight and thinness to you? - Would be a bonus if it was light and thin!

• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. - Ideally 16"!

• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. -Don't game anymore, just need something that will be great for coding in VS code, sometimes photo editing and video editing!

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

Hi everyone!

I currently own an ASUS TUF F15 15.6in i5 16GB 1TB RTX3050.

Interestingly, I bought it almost 3 years ago for £650, and it looks like its now £999?

Anyhow, its a great gaming laptop! But im not really a gamer anymore!

I run a web design agency, and need a Windows laptop thats super fast, has a sizable hardrive, and the main reason for an upgrade is because i'm on the move alot, and I need a Windows laptop that has a unplugged battery life thats comparable to a Macbook!

My laptops great, but I can literally watch the battery percent go down by the second when its unplugged, and lasts no more than 40 minutes off charge.

Please could you suggest something to me, my budget is £1000-£1500!

Thank you in advance!
