I second this recommendation. Framework laptops are great but they are not without issue (firmware updates have been lagging, battery life is fine but not great). They are a great longlasting purchase that you can keep upgrading. But they are not without quirks.
But to me it looks like you just want a laptop that does it's job reliably and have a limmited budget.
