Gaming/All Purpose Laptop, need advice after much research.

I have done research as far as reviews on youtube, reviews online now I am just looking for that final push or suggestion before I purchase. It turns out that practically no Laptop is perfect, as far as manufacturers or models etc go.

As far as uses for this, honestly I have a beastly gaming computer with 144hz monitor.. I don't exactly need a powerhouse laptop. My first PC in 2003 ran games like ass and I was happy to have it, so turning down settings if I need to isn't going to bother me. I plan to use this for word docs, playing DnD on Roll20, light gaming upstairs. Games I play most often are going to be EQ and WOW, pretty sure my first computer would still run these. Other games are gonna be some triple A titles every now and then.

On the verge of buying. I am currently looking at several models. I have so many tabs open on my chrome it is unreal. I have spent the last 2 weeks doing research here and there to see if I can find the definitive best laptop to buy. Turns out the end of my budget is 1200. In no order, here are my options..

$1049 Acer Helios 300 has been suggested many times. This looks like a great option, but the screen doesn't exactly get praise.

$1199 Acer V15 Nitro Black Edition with 512GB SSD and 16GB Ram. This is honestly what I am leaning towards, as it seems above average in screen, about average in battery life (gaming laptops really max out around 5-6 hours regular and 1.5 hours gaming huh?)

$1099-1200 in Various configurations on a Lenovo Y720. Has high rated sound with Dobly Atmos, built in xbox wireless dongle. Screen is average, battery is average I think.

$899-1000 Could step down and look at Dell 7000(7567)Series gaming laptop for the best battery life (I think, correct if my I'm wrong) and take a hit to graphics with the 1050ti.

$1149 Lenovo Yoga 720 I find this option VERY appealing as the 2-1 feature is nice for what I plan to use it for. Battery good, screen good.. 1050 and the same i7-7700HQ everything else has. Downside, can't add another SSD, no micro SD so you have to look at other storage options.

The Clevo/Sager/Eluktronics options all appeal to me to because you can get nice specs for the money, but wouldn't the Acer V15 Nitro Black be better than any of these? I'm really close to deciding, just need that final push and I am ready. If you have any additonal suggestions let me know.

Gigabyte Aero 14 would be great if it was in budget. HELP!
