I need the laptop mainly to work on my doctoral thesis and related projects, but when I travel away for several days, I would like to be able to spend some time on casual gaming (no need to play on high-ultra). I prioritize mobility and battery life, I don't mind playing a few hours a week with graphics on medium.
Thinking about ASUS Zenbook 14 UM425QA or similar.
