Laptop for school/light gaming

Looking to get a laptop for school, and maybe play some games here and there like csgo.  Right now I have 3 laptops in mind which are the Asus ux303ub, xps13, and macbook.  Asus seems like it's the best for the money but not sure about how the touchpad/keyboard compares to the others, any input would be appreciated, thanks.

 

Budget ~1300 usd.

Of those 3, only the Asus Zenbook is viable

The XPS13 line are ultrabooks with no GPU

Macbook is.. not for gaming

The only game i'd be playing would most likely just be csgo which would be able to run on all of those.

I have a Macbook Air 11" (2015) because I travel a lot for work and needed something light. It is quite capable of light gaming. I run CS:GO, Diablo III and Starcraft regularly when I'm on the road away from my gaming desktop at home.

I would not recomend getting a laptop from Asus since their support is really bad, if they can give you the blame for something even if it is really ridiculous they will do it.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M
