Depends on the engine. As far as I know unreal 4 and 5 has huge demands that in their site they recommend desktops.

Why are you looking at Slim laptops, You will have to run graphic/cpu intensive software all day long, so slim laptop is a bad choice.

What game engines are you using, I hope you don't develop AAA games or so (If you are a such developer, you won't be asking this question here), so i guess you just need mid range cpu, high ram and mid to high graphics.
If you are developing 2D/2.5D or HD2D, you do't need high spec computer.

Did you look up Thinkpad P or T series, with mid range graphics. Those are very well built machines,
