Buying a new laptop. Suggestions needed.

[N3rdR4ge]

I need some help picking out a laptop in the $800-$900 range. I found a great one, but I've got the nagging question in my head "Did I miss something better?".

Here's Lenovo I picked, specifically the $849.99 model 81BD001NUS (Bottom of page on left under models)

I do want at least:
-i5 or better (8th gen preferred)
-128GB PCIe SSD (nvme preferred)
-8GB RAM
-13" - 14" screen

I don't really need:
-dedicated graphics
-touch
-flip back/tablet mode

For a premium thin system, that is OK for the price, they are all about in the same range with the specs on the Lenovo. Dell XPS and ASUS Zenbooks are also a few in the same range.
