Feel like I come here every 2-4 years to get a new laptop.
Budget: $1,300 is the maximum

Purpose/wants:
-Work functions:
Excel for school (MBA student that does some light to medium excel work)
Zoom calls (not extremely important but I would prefer it)

-Travel gaming
I travel once a month. Normally only play OSRS, but let's just assume Apex Legends is the most intense game

-Preferably lightweight
Have to take this thing everywhere, including class

I'm currently looking at this HP:

Would like to purchase within the next few days. Open to all suggestions.

Apex is a pretty demanding game GPU wise, it's going to be hard to get "lightweight" and "able to play apex without lag"

Ah alright. Then just scratch apex and we can assume OSRS is the only "travel game" I'd play
e/ any thoughts with that adjustment?

For light laptops I really like the Lenovo Yogas, not sure if you want 14" screen or 16"

Compared to the laptop you posted, this one is faster and lighter by a tiny margin.

I5 12gen
4060 gtx
16gb ram
1tb ssd
Weight is 4.96lb

This will play everything ezpz.
