I am currently looking at the Asus ROG Zephyrus and TUF A16. Alternately, I would consider an ultra book like the Samsung Galaxy Book 5 or the LG Gram Pro. If there are any similar laptops, I will take a look at them.

USB-C power delivery and charging capability is an absolute must. I am sick of carrying around heavy A/C adapters like my current HP has. Would like to buy sooner than later as I have a lot of traveling coming up. I would also specify that I do not want a touchscreen.
