Recommendations for an under 750 USD laptop for school w/ discrete graphics

[WambleCropped]

My school now has a BYOD policy now. So im looking for some recommendations.

Necessities

1. SSD preferably 500gb but i can go for smaller

2. 12 or 16gb of ram

3. a discrete graphics card (preferably a 1050 or better)

 

This is the one I have so far https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-15-6-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-512gb-ssd-black/6409467.p?skuId=6409467

Any thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated!

That model is quite old and quite crappy.

Here's a FAR better laptop. The Ryzen 5 4600H is faster than most mobile i7s (the ones with 6 cores or less) while also using less power (so better battery life and less heat). You also get a 1650 and decent cooling.
