Thin laptop with casual gaming capacities

[Jack Hamstar]

Hello,
I know there are quite a few threads about this, but a lot of them are dated or just not quite what I'm looking for.

I am going to study ICT and I need a laptop for this. Since I'll be lugging it around all day with me I am looking for a thin and light laptop. However, a friend of mine, who is already studying ICT at this same school, says there is also quite some casual gaming as CS:GO and DotA/League going on between classes during break time etc.

My budget is around €1300/$1400.

Currently I am looking at the ASUS VivoBook Pro N580VD-E4556T. I can't find any reviews on this laptop though. Maybe I'm missing something....

Preferable specs:
i7 processor
14" or 15" screen IPS
SSD
At least 8gb of ram
Dedicated graphics
Thin

The Asus Vivobook has all these specs, but because I can't find reviews or videos about it anywhere I am a bit sceptical.

Thanks in advance!
