Hi everyone, I am looking to buy a laptop with the standard keyboard for Microsoft Excel and PPT, as I am looking to practice for on-cycle. I love my Mac and how compatible it is with my iPhone so am just looking for a secondary laptop (I’ve tried parallels w a Bluetooth keyboard but it’s a pain).
Does anyone have any good recommendations? Ideally looking to spend at most around $500-700. Thank you

Any preference on series? Would L or T series work?
I like t480 but lots of great options
this is the way - just picked up a p1 w/ intel xeon and 32 gb for ~300. no OS so another 100 for the windows license. Keystone Technology Management has some good stuff in inventory
Thank you I'll check that site out, looked at BestBuy and found some good deals. Same on Amazon but not sure it's reliable
