Laptop rec for Data science/AI CSE student

Im confused whether to buy a lap with dedicated GPU. Im also looking for good portability and not havey bulky laps. Im not that much of a gamer as well.

The main question is whether Dedicated GPU like RTX is needed or not. If yes one option in mind is the Asus Gaming v16.

If not i was thinking abt Lenovo IdeaPad, S16, Yoga Slim and all.
