The following points are important to me:
Thin
Large display
Illuminated keyboard
Good sound
And of course the CPU and GPU shouldn't be bad for 1300, but it doesn't need a high end either
Xiaomi Mi Laptop 2019 Windows 10 Intel Core i7-9750 GeForce RTX 2060 16GB RAM 512GB SSD, 144Hz display, Hi-Res Audio, no logo. But the part is not thin. But hi end. Otherwise I could recommend the Mi Notebook pro, which is a few years old but not expensive
