Lenovo Legion. Has Numeric Keypad, solid build. Wasn't outrageously expensive for the specs either (16gb ram 1TB HD). Good for work and can handle decent games if you ever have spare time.
Second this, have the same laptop.
Great performance for the price and great screen. Is definitely on the heavy and less portable side tho
The Acer Predator 21 X has a full sized keyboard..
X1 extreme gen 4. Xps 13 plus (spring release date)
Why do you need a laptop outside of your work laptop?
I just use an iPad Air
Not being issued a work laptop, was just told to buy one and they’ll reimburse me
The majority of laptops will work. I'm a fan of Dell, but go with whichever brand you like. Excel is CPU intensive (vs. GPU intensive) so just get a strong CPU.
Just buy an external keyboard and monitor

Surprisingly no M1 MacBooks and everyone uses legion carbons or legion just like me.
Dell XPS
