Games:
-Overwatch
-CSGO
-Kovaak Aim trainer

-I want a nice and big screen
-Lightweight
-Need a protective case.
-Price: I'm looking for a good value, Whatever you think that is.

And might even be running it off of my Phone 4G Hotspot ( is that even possible? ) Wifi the rest of the time.

Ideas?

Definitely get one with a high refresh rate screen, they are very similarly priced to 60Hz models nowadays.
Bad screens are pretty much gone from the laptop market nowadays, if you get a laptop with IPS screen you can expect it to be decent. Even laptops with OLED screens are affordable now.
Don't get any Ryzen CPU before Ryzen 4000, they have much worse gaming performance.
Ryzen 4000 is preferable over Intel alternatives in my opinion because of the lower power consumption under load.
That laptop should of course have a dedicated GPU, don't know what is enough for you there. I only know that you can't get a Ryzen 4000 laptop with anything higher than an RTX 2060.
You should look at some benchmarks for the GPU choice.
