Honestly, they have a corny reputation because of what the acronym stands for, but I've found the ROG Zephyrus line of laptops to be the perfect mix of "I can game on this, but also it's small/light enough that I can take it to a coffee shop to do business".
The Lenovo Legion is also a great choice.
