Help me pick a laptop UmU

[Doedoel]

ITT: Help this tech illiterate fool pick the right laptop, please

-So, why a laptop and not a PC?
I'd like something that I can carry with me everywhere since I move out pretty often to different cities and rarely countries. ITX PC is quite tempting, but I don't think I can afford it with my budget.
-What am I looking for in a laptop?
Mostly gaming, but nothing heavy. I like to play my games in 1600x900 resolution with Medium/Low graphics, 45 FPS with little to no visual enhancement (Motion Blur, Bloom, etc).
-What's your current laptop?
Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3, with AMD Athlon Silver 3050u with AMD Integrated Graphic, as well as 12GB of RAM
-Have you considered Steam Deck/ROG Ally?
Yeah. They just don't look professional, per se

So with that all out of the way, let me show you my wishlist of laptops that I plan to buy:
1. Lenovo Legion Slim S7 (Ryzen 7 6800H / RX 6800S 8GB)
2. Lenovo LOQ 15 (Ryzen 7 7435HS / RTX 4060 8GB)
3. ASUS TUF A15 (Ryzen 7 7435HS / RTX 4060 8GB)
4. ASUS ROG Strix G15(Ryzen 7 6800HS / RTX 3050 4GB)
(All laptop RAM will be +16GB)

And there you have it. Thank you in advance o7

Speaking about your whish list,
The Lenovo Legion Slim S7 is the most lightweight (around 2 kilograms) compared to other (mostly around 2,5 kilograms)
maybe the best (in my opinion) for travel since you move often.
(I know what i'm saying, during my first year at my programming school, i need to carry a 2010 lenovo thinkpad with mostly 3kg everyday in my bag, it was tiring).
but Slim laptops can be extremely fragile so be careful with that.

Also this slim model seems to be a little bit wider than the other model.
It might seems not that much but it can sometime become bothersome if it doesn't fit properly in your bag.

If you're looking for something strong (physically), then pickup the ASUS ROG
They have an excellent balance between performance, battery, and solidity.
They also seems to be easy to unmount (it can sometime happens when you need to "upgrade" the ram or the cpu, or whatever hardware part...), slim laptop are often difficult to unmount,
but the tradeoff is the weight.

In term of performance,
They have good spec, i guess
I have nothing to say about this because both of them have a far more spec than my actual laptop.

Also I don't know if this apply to asus too but it's worth mentioning.
Gaming laptops often stop using the GPU while running on battery and run graphics on the CPU instead
which means that you need to use the charger while playing heavy graphics games

Even though I'm a software engineer student, these are not my domain of skills😅.
Maybe the other people on the forums will give you a better recommendation than I am.

Anyway,
That's it.
