i currently have a Lenovo Twist S230, and while it was a 2700$ Laptop at the time, its now 8 Years old, and so its Not powerful enough for what i want to do on it.

i need some suggestions for a laptop, as i cant find the perfect one for me

these are my Requirements for the Laptop:

Touchscreen

Backlit Keyboard, Doesnt need to be RGB But it would be nice

Dedicated GPU, RTX 2060 or better, as my Desktop has a 1070 and Runs everything i Throw at it

Must have USB C And USB A, As well as must be able to charge through 1 or multiple of the USB C ports

15" or less, My System G bag is a 15" bag. i could get the 17" bag but want to just stay with the one i have since i just got it

Good battery life

Silent or Almost SIlent

not insanely heavy, as it will be in my backpack

Under 2500$ Including Tax and other fees

Available on Amazon Prime

These features i would really like, but are not 100% Required:

Able to turn into a Tablet

better then 1080P screen (1440 or 4K)

better then 60HZ Screen

Since you need a powerful dGPU, you can forget about touchscreen, 2 in 1 / tablet and USB C charging (eGPU solution not recommended)

no minimum, just Good in general. enough to where i could use it for a few minutes here and there through the day and not need to plug it in. though my bag will have a battery so ill be able to charge it without an issue if required or while its int he bag

silent while doing general things. i understand that if im doing heavy gaming it might make noise. just dont want to hear SHHHHHHH while im looking at a website

no max, my lenovo is 3.312LB, i really wouldnt want it much heavier then 3.5LB

Amazon only, i want to be able to purchase it from amazon with my amazon Card.

 

its also very important to me that the keyboard isnt in a weird layout, like how my lenovo has a Function key where CTRL Belongs, and that the keyboard isnt complete garbage to type on

So you want 2 in 1 / tablet or powerful GPU? (can't have both)

doesnt need to be a tablet. just want touchscreen. having it fold or twist into a tablet is a nice feature but diffidently not required.

I can't think of any laptop with touchscreen and a 2060 or higher GPU unfortunately. Probably need to decide which to sacrifice

Yeah, all that and around 3.5 pounds? Going to be tough. Might have to wait for the new Asus ROG one with the Ryzen CPU.
