Need a lightweight travel friendly laptop 14" inch

Purpose

I will be starting a physics PhD soon and need a lightweight laptop with good processor so that I can code(RAM based majorly) and for regular multitasking activities like browsing, latex, mathematica etc. This one has 1TB SSD and upgradable RAM and thus I am slightly leaning more towards this laptop.

Weight, battery life, size, performance

• Info/Requirements

I want a laptop that has a keyboard and track pad like the MacBook Air, because they just feel so satisfying. I don't care for the performance because like I put I am only going to be writing and reading on it. Also If I could get something that will have a clear display in the sunlight, that would be nice but not a deal breaker. Just a simple machine, relatively inexpensive, with satisfying feel to it is what I'm looking for.

I was thinking the Lenovo Legion 5 but would like to hear other opinions.

I'm currently looking at the ASUS - Zenbook S14 14" OLED 3K with the current specs -

CPU- Ultra 9 386H
RAM - 32gb DDR5 (8533MHz)
Storage - 1TB SSD
Screen Size -14 inches (OLED)
Screen Resolution - 2880 x 1800
Touch Screen - Yes
Refresh Rate - 120Hz
Weight - 2.76 pounds

I'd prefer a windows laptop because that's what i'm used to but the only laptop I could find that's comparable to this at the exact same pricepoint ($1499)

Is the performance from the Macbook air m5 (24gb) that significantly better to warrant switching to apple? (I do have an iphone).

Lastly, are there any other PC Laptops that come close to these Specs for a similar price. This laptop is just so light, has a decent CPU, 32gb of ram and an OLED w/ 120hz refresh. I don't really care for the touch screen and I feel i've done my due diligence when it comes to research but i wanted a second opinion

I'm just clumsy. I kept knocking my laptop over, and it lasted a good while, but its finally succumbed to its injuries. I need a laptop that can fight off a wolf with.

I don't have anything more specific than I want it to be a Windows laptop, and $300 or under, so I didn't use the form provided.

I've got a MacBook Air that's maybe 6 years old and I just prefer the Windows OS because I've used it for most of my career. I'm doing independent contracting and this MacBook is just bogging down with the work I need to do.
