Acer Swift 3 or Aspire 5. Maybe Lenovo Ideapad 320S 14/15 with 52Wh battery if you can find it. Asus Vivobooks, Dell Inspiron 3000/5000 series, Lenovo Ideapad 320 and HP Pavilions are mediocre. Your budget is low tbh, maybe you can consider used business laptops like Thinkpad T440

Linus just did a video praising the 8th gen intel laptop cpus for their efficiency without sacrificing the power, but realize you aren't going to be doing a lot more than mmos on intel graphics. If the only options are those two I'd go with the dell

Good build quality and cooling. However it has a bad display, mediocre input devices and OKish battery life.

That's E15 not Aspire 5. They have difference in build quality and battery life. Aspire 5 is better overall.
