Laptop <1000 CAD

[Meet8939]

Hey, my brother wanted to but a laptop <1000 CAD. He wants a laptop which will look good i.e. slim bezels and a bit thinner. According to his workflow he would require at least a 4-core processor and at least a decent graphics card with a 120-250 GB SSD and if possible a HDD (Not a must but if there will be very helpful). It should also have 8 or 8+ GB of RAM, he wont know how to add more RAM as he is not so tech savvy (meaning he has not opened up a laptop before for any purpose).

I suggested him some Laptops like:

1. ASUS VivoBook 15.6" Intel i5-8265U (He wants something looking like this ones) 

2.ASUS VivoBook S Intel Core i5-8250U

3. ASUS VivoBook F512DA-EB51 (Ryzen 5 3500U)

4. Lenovo Ideapad L340 81LW000DUS (Ryzen 5 3500U)

5. ASUS TUF 15.6" (Ryzen 5 3500H) : He didn't like the design

 

I had thought of suggesting Dell XPS laptops (<1000 CAD). I have not researched them well so please give comments on this laptop as they are very much recommended by the LTT Group.

Can you guys suggest some laptops which would satisfy this criteria.
