The Lenovo has a underpowered processor, the HP is good but the screen resolution is bad even for an IPS. For someone who works on spreadsheets you definitely need a good display. The only best value for money laptop i could find was this Dell laptop. This is the most crazy value for money laptop I’ve seen in a while. The only downgrade is that it’s quite heavy compared to other laptops. > **[Dell - 16 Plus - 2025 - Review, Deals, Sales, Price History and Coupons |...](https://www.bestlaptop.deals/products/dell-16-plus-2025?configID=432)** > > The Dell Plus is a very basic and underwhelming midrange laptop.

I think you should wait for a sale on the Zenbook s14 for $900 or wait for a different laptop to drop to your price range on a deal, it will be better value for you, Black Friday is just around the corner, so I suggest to wait for it. ---
