Two excellent budget laptop options for a productive desk.

✅Lenovo ThinkPad X280 (8th Gen i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Durable and iconic keyboard.

✅HP ProBook 11E G4 (8th Gen i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Versatile 2-in-1 with a touchscreen for use as a traditional laptop or tablet mode.

Either of them will cost you around 21k and if your plug is a good person, as standard practice they will install a windows version of your choice and MS Office.

All the best as you equip yourself for work/school in the new year.
