Personally, unless long battery life is important, I'd get a slightly older refurbished laptop. They are nicer to use than the equivalent priced new laptop and generally better specs.
This happily runs smart notebook for instance and is pretty lightweight but tough https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354359481900
I don't know that seller, I got one of these from ITZoo but they seem to have bumped the prices right up.
I have one which I updated to Windows 11 (probably didn't need to but it was free and I thought better to do it straightaway) and it runs Smart Notebook fine.
USB C charging so cheap to get a spare charger as well.
