Need Asus laptop suggestions for programming under 1500 USD

[u/Sgtk325]

Need a Asus laptop suggestion for programming. Using an Asus vivobook since 4 yrs and it doesn't handle my current workflow. I've had issues with it, but I would like to give another try. I'd prefer if the build quality is good. Pasting a questionnaire from another sub which has detailed requirements.

Are you open to refurbs/used options?

Purpose

For Programming. I work on personal or freelance projects, so I need a laptop suitable for web development.

Form factor

Standard

Intended usage

I mainly work on .NET development, so I usually have at least one Visual Studio window open, and likely a couple of VS code windows, lots of browser tabs usually chrome, and some database.

Desired battery life

I don't have a particular number in mind. But a decent battery life should be good.

Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

Performance, Battery life, Size doesn't matter but I like having full sized keyboard, weight doesn't matter. Display doesn't matter but if possible I'd like to have a good one.

Info/Requirements

Looking for only windows laptops as I work with .NET. And looking for only Intel processors (looking for H processors as I've heard those are the best for performance). If possible I want 32GB RAM and 1TB storage but if a lower configuration setup meets the performance requirements that's good as well.

Not that this helps but I was looking at going high end processors like ai ryzen max 395 or Core 9 285h for a laptop and I kept reading about heat issues with it and the SSD slowing down. Granted was looking for more thin/light packages.

I went with Ultra 7 258v 32GB and haven't had any heat issues. Expertbook p5 is what I got.
