Someone asked me to find them a good budget laptop.

Someone asked me to find them a budget laptop like under 700$US and although I can go search through some websites and some reviews online I thought maybe people here can suggest good ones.
So they are not particularly a tech enthusiast and they are still unsure what they want this laptop for and although they said they only need it for normal daily use like web browsing and watching movies, I know that they study Architecture and it's probably better that they have something that they might be able to use a little bit for some of the software that comes for Architecture(I've told them that they can't get anything remotely good with this kind of budget but they insisted that they only have this amount and they want to buy now)
I would be really thankful if you give me some advice on what to look for or what exact products you think are the best for this kind of use case \:)
Thank you

Architecture is mainly 2d so its not too hard.

Thank you, I will check it out.
And thanks for letting me know that it didn't need that much power... I thought maybe there was a need for some simulations at times but I think I was wrong.

I don't think archutrure requirses sims as that is left to the engineers iirc.
