Wait for more Ryzen 4000 CPU powered laptops. Do keep an eye for RAM slots, many ultrabooks have soldered RAM, some have 1 soldered RAM with 1 free slot (latter is the better choice as you can go for 8GB model & add RAM later).

Something like this performs better than even i7 10xxxU powered laptops:
Acer Swift 3 SF314-42

The iGPU of Ryzen laptops are more powerful than the iGPU of i5/i7 U series laptops. So better suited for your light gaming (it is still weak for the latest & greatest).
