Budget laptop UK and questions

Post Body

Apologies for not following a structure about what I'm looking for because honestly I still haven't decided. I've come to a conclusion that I'm going to sell my desktop which is fairly decent 3700X and 6600XT with a 1440p 165 monitor to grab a laptop. The reason being I have young kids so being able to move around the house work/play is vital and even being able to game away from the desk is appealing. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to match the performance of my desk which is fine.

I have a few questions:

  1. Mux switch how important is this for an external display do you gain much FPS, and is there a noticeable performance drop when plugging into the Display port that might be hardwired to the iGPU over the dGPU?
  2. Is there any ultrabooks with dedicated graphics the sort of laptop that can charge over USB-C that could run Apex Legends for example at 1080p? Or am I in the realms of need more power as I assume most are 65w charging?

Onto what I'm ideally looking for:

  • If it could be under £1000 would be perfect, I could stretch a very small amount over but the cheaper the better.
  • Atleast a 6 core CPU / and minimum for a 3050ti happy to go last gen if its worthwhile such as 1660ti/2060.
  • I'm ok with any screen size, weight, USB-C is a must for my headset and the ability to upgrade storage and memory with some half decent battery life to do office tasks.
  • Looks wise nothing to gamer looking if possible.

I have seen a few laptops such as:
