Perhaps the following Asus UX331UA-DS71 ZenBook for $1,069 CAD is a good alternative. It is pretty light at under 2.5lbs. It comes with a quad core i7-8550u CPU, 256GB SSD (m.2 format) and 8GB of RAM. You can upgrade the SSD to something with a larger capacity, just keep in mind that it does not have a 2.5" drive bay to install a hard drive or 2.5" SSD. Also, you cannot upgrade the RAM; the 8GB RAM stick is soldered into the laptop.

Here's a review of the same laptop, but it has a nVidia mx150 dedicated GPU and the model is lightly different; UX331UN...

The ASUS ZenBook 13 UX331UN-WS51T sells for $1,548.30 CAD. However, based on what you plan on doing you do not need the dedicated mx150 GPU. This version also has a touch screen.
