Hi y'all

My company gave me $600-800 to find a laptop.

I am not familiar with the market these days so I would really appreciate your help.

Zip code: 48335
Date needed: As soon as realistic

Uses:
-Excel spreadsheets/macro creation.
-Some Access database but probably just simple ones.

-VGA and HDMI capability
-Dual monitor would be cool but no problem.
-Wifi + Ethernet
-SSD preferred but would like some space.
-No disc drive required. Just a bonus. Can buy external.
-video power would just be for Microsoft office stuff and general internet surfing. No gaming.
-A few USB

Looking for processing power bang for the buck.
Simple business tasks that won't lag- nothing insane.

I just want to use their money responsibly.
THANKS!

That's like my work laptop but that has a better processor and more RAM instead of a larger screen. It's good. I don't really use it for anything too intense but it's a very capable laptop.

Yea I understand that a potato is probably fine.

I just wanted to use the money responsibly and get the best machine within the budget.

Looks like the one I linked is decent
