Need a thin laptop with dedicated gpu under 1200

Hello there, I have recently found the need for a good laptop for school under about 1200 USD. The laptop should preferably be thin and light with minimum to no gamer accents, aggressive styling etc. But a bit of it is ok. I will be using it for ms office along with light video editing(nothing too much) and I will be playing relatively demanding games like overwatch, csgo, fortnite etc and have figured out that I will require at least 4gb of VRAM so like 1050 and higher and atlest 4 physical cpu cores. On amazon, there are a fair bit of options but almost all of them are thick and are flashy red etc.(most from msi and asus) Any help is appreciated thank you. ?

Try to find anyone selling the Walmart Overpowered laptops. You can get a nicely specc'd laptop for pretty cheap since they were liquidated.

I wiil be visiting the us after a few days, would consider light to be below 3.5 to 4 lbs and minimum battery life of 6-8hrs under moderate to heavy usage.

MSI P65 8RD with 1050TI - OKish build quallity

Lenovo Yoga 730 15 - a bit over 4 lbs, convertible / Ultrabook

 

TBH your budget is low for a laptop with <4 lbs weight, min 6 hrs battery life and GTX GPU (or you don't mind lower?)

 

And if you want to ask whether XPS 15 is good or not, the answer is no
