Hello!
What are the lightest laptops available (less than 2kg/4.5 lbs) with low/mid tier gpu such as mx150/250/gtx1050/ti/1650/1660 etc. Gaming is certainly not the priority and decent battery life (5h+ without gaming) is expected along with subtle design. (no accent colors/gamer-ish chassis)
So far I've considered 2 options;
MSI PS42 Modern 8RA (1.2kg)
pros: 8565u/mx250/16gb/512nvme/1080@60/white backlit kb/fingerprint/full sized arrow keys! great port selection and 50wh battery
cons: questionable build quality/kb flex/thermals(?)
Asus ROG Zephyrus G GA502DU (2.1kg)
pros: 120hz/much better specs. prolly better cooling as well and 76wh battery!
cons: not exactly light/crappy wifi/soldered ram/no biometrics
Honestly I don't need this much firepower as this machine will be mainly used for web-browsing, video streaming and occasional gaming (nfs mw 2005). Something with ulv cpu and mx chip with 8/16gb ram would do. Slim bezels and fingerprint reader are welcome additions.
*EDIT* Also not into any color sensitive work nor high refresh rate gaming. Weight/Battery life and sleek design is what I am after.
Thoughts on the given 2 models are welcome. Other recommendations are also appreciated. Thank you.
