keyboard feel, battery life, screen quality and storage are superior to others, then there is cpu, and in the end is gpu.
first i was looking for something with Touch screen so she don't have to use mouse and keyboard but i found them so expensive

her sense of weight matters, she desires something light.

I wonder if this device is designed for frequent carrying in a backpack. If yes, I'd suggest a 14-inch model rather than a 15.6-inch one, as the Zenbook 14" is quite portable for everyday use.

If possible, explore various purchasing choices. If not, consider a review from an ultrabook evaluation platform.
Display quality significantly impacts your experience.
You might benefit from a screen with higher than 1080P resolution.
Examine the monitor specifications closely.
Cheap monitors usually offer only around 250 nits brightness.
Higher brightness is preferable—aim for at least 300 nits up to 500 nits.
Performance depends largely on whether the device uses an SSD or a HDD.
Integrated graphics suffice for most tasks, except rapid gaming.
Playing movies or YouTube videos will run smoothly.
Dedicated graphics boosts cost, heat generation, and reduces battery life.
Some lightweight laptops use soldered RAM chips; confirm you have at least 16GB in dual-channel mode.
Any modern processor is adequate. Avoid chasing excessive speed.
A Lenovo ThinkPad would be a strong recommendation, especially for its keyboard.

I understand you're referring to two drives, but I'd still avoid it since previous experiences show hard drives are more prone to damage when the laptop is moved around and they use up battery faster. Instead, I'd upgrade to an SSD later or use a cheaper one if multiple drives are needed. Even 1TB options are now quite affordable.

The MX450 GPU you mentioned is quite basic. It handles many older and less demanding games well, but it's not a replacement for the powerful GPUs found in gaming laptops if you're aiming for the newest titles.

I share your opinion about the Thinkpads, especially the T series, as a solid and dependable laptop option if you can afford it. You shouldn't worry too much about screen resolution above 1080p when choosing a laptop under 15.6 inches. When it comes to displays, focus on good sRGB coverage and strong contrast. Both models offer decent IPS screens suitable for everyday use. The Asus Zenbook stands out with full sRGB support. For detailed evaluations, Notebookcheck.com is a reliable source.

Based on your clarification, the 15.6" measurement is acceptable.

Thanks for your question. Here’s a rephrased version:
How do I determine which keyboard is suitable? What are the key features of a laptop keyboard?

my goal isn't gaming at all; i just needed a "not bad gpu." i have vega 11 on my pc, which works perfectly, so i believe a max of around 450 would suffice.

Yeah, I agree. You shouldn't suggest a 15.6" screen with a resolution above 1080p.
