These used t480/t490 come with good i5 8th gen for around 15-17k.

These are great lappies with expandable ram and storage ( make sure to refer to online spec sheet).

Windows 11 can be installed in like 10 minutes using a online guide.

Ms.office might be a problem, but you can always use the better libre office.
It should be compatible with ms office.
 
Hi one more thing the online spec sheet isn't always very dependable. Modern day laptops can easily handle 32 GB of RAM (2x16GB) but the spec sheet often says 16 GB maximum RAM support. I have an HP victus fb-0xxx and the entire community has intensively tested 32 GB and it works perfectly. So look it up and if its well tested with 32 GB its perfectly safe to put that much RAM. I doubt modern motherboards are built with a 16 GB RAM cap though you can't expand over 24GB if 1 of the 8 gig sticks is soldered so watch out for that.

Avoid Thinkpads of E and L series.
These consumer grade laptop's are bad in terms of build quality.
Try getting X and T series Thinkpads.

The E and L series are entry-level models with more plastic construction, meaning they're less robust and won't stand up to heavy use like the X and T lines.
