I'm looking for a new laptop for both college work(Programming video games and rendering videos) that can also run some older games(minecraft, saints row 4, skyrim) while still being on a budget(around $1000 - $2000, closer to $1000 would be best). I know a desktop would be better for this stuff, but I need a this to go from class to class and back home. Any ideas? Thanks y'all!

xps, gram, matebook x, just to name a few

The only problem I have with the LG Gram is the Intel UHD graphics. I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.
