College Laptop Help

[Kolgrim17]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new laptop for college which I'm starting in about a month. I have looked extensively through many sites, videos, and forums, but can't seem to find a perfect one. It needs to be $1100 at most (bonus points if on sale or has deal). This laptop will be used for school work, coding and possibly for work. (This will NOT be used for gaming). Any and all reccomdations, advice, or ideas will be a big help! Thank you! 

My preferences for a laptop are (but not limited to):
• 15 inch screen
• Slim build (not bulky)
• Strong CPU
• Good amount of SSD (with possible additional HDD)
• Not touch screen
• Long battery life

I believe alex did a review on some laptops which you may be after on shortcircuit, might want to check it out if its wverything you're after. Other than that, I don't use laptops anymore so I can't give you my own opinion on whats a decent laptop with specs like that.

-HP Envy x360 with R5 4500U or better

-Lenovo Ideapad 5 15 with 4500U or  better

-Asus Zephyrus G14 with 4600H or 4800H (if within budget)

 

If you want the best CPU performance, ryzen 4000 is the obvious choice. The U series will probably suit you more as the H series are often paired with discrete GPUs in more 'gamery' and less refined designs, although they will be more powerful.

 

Edit:  Also, Lenovo Flex 5 14
