Lightweight laptop Mid 2020

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a lightweight (up to 1.4 kg) laptop, priced up to 1800 USD. Currently sitting at Asus N551JM i7 4710HQ, 16Gb RAM, GTX860m and 1Tb SSD. Looking for something great for typing, some light gaming (like Civ5 FHD Med), MATLAB/Wolfram Mathematica. As for the hardware: at least a 4 core processor, 512Gb SSD, 16Gb (or 8 is enough for Mac?) DDR4 (somehow DDR3 feels rather old to me), nice screen, GREAT keyboard + battery life and USB C charging. At the moment I was looking at:
new Macbook Pro 13 (feels overpriced for the base 10th gen CPU) 
new Macbook Air (not knowing whether is i7 much better than the i5)
HP Spectre x360
Dell XPS 13
MSI Prestige 14 (has a GTX video, but I heard about a poor keyboard and not great build quality)

Unfortunately, I don't know much about any of them coming except for the Lenovo Slim 7. Are there many coming June-July to the European market?

there was supposed to be 100+ models out by the end of Q2 but some maybe pushed back.

I'd say wait till you are days away from buying then ask.
