Every laptop in your range will have the horsepower to run what you need. I'd personally look for one that is A.) Ordered from the MS store if Windows (it should be Windows if you want the best versions of Office), and B) has a great webcam. More and more people are doing video meetings, and you will inevitably be sucked into one at some point. I hate how grainy the webcam is on my personal laptop versus my work laptop (Macbook Pro).
