Laptop for school / programming (LG Gram like)

[BelgianNoise]

I am looking for a new laptop.
What I am looking for is something like the LG Gram 17".
BUT, that model is only available in QWERTY, since I live in Belgium i am looking for a BE AZERTY layout.
Also, the 17" is only available in America, import would cost me $400, also warranty would be a problem.

So I am looking for a lightweight laptop, preferably with a 17" screen (because of visual impairment).
It would mostly be used for school / programming. So a simple quad core is good enough, 8gigs would do, 16gigs would be better. GPU is not required.

I have looked all over the internet but i cant seem to find the perfect fit. all these decent 17" laptops are bulky and heavy.
I am willing to settle for a 15" maybe, if there is like no other choice.
Budget; 1.5k - 2k max.

Please LG Make the LG Gram 17" with AZERTY layout, that would be perfect fit;

tnx in advance for the help;

I would not worry too much about the keyboard layout. You will get used to it! I am a German living in Taiwan. The laptop I use at home has a German Qwertz keyboard, at work I have to use a Taiwanese Qwerty keyboard, and I regularly toggle through German, Chinese and English, as I have to use all three languages regularly. If you think the LG Gram is the perfect fit, go for it, memorize the Azerty layout and you will be fine.

I think LG Gram 17 is the only one that is 'lightweight'. Others weight at 2.5-3kg. Personally I don't recommend getting it due to flimsy build quality
