Recommendation for Accounting student.

I am an accounting student doing CA ( Indian CPA equivalent).

I am looking for a laptop for around ₹ 70000 to ₹ 1000000.

Primary use case would be accounting softwares , excel , ppt , and casual youtube and netflix.

I think that business laptops are just advertising gimmicks to charge a premium from enterprises,

therefore I wanted to ask you guys for suggestions and guidance.
