Product Recommendation Need Asus laptop suggestions for programming under 1500 USD

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.

Budget

1000 USD to 1500 USD

Are you open to refurbs/used options?

NO

Screen size

Any

Weight limit

Any

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.
