Which laptop to buy for web development under $700?

Question

laptops

I plan to buy a new working laptop (basically a laptop, because I have to walk a lot with it). I am engaged in FrontEnd, i.e. it is desirable that a graphics editor, a text editor, two browsers with several tabs (7-10 pieces each) be open and work in parallel. I have never set it up yet, but I plan to install a local server for testing (I think this also requires its own technical characteristics). And at the same time, it is limited in the budget, namely, up to 20 thousand hryvnias, or up to $700, or 55 thousand rubles (translated based on the Ukrainian exchange rate). In general, advise specific models, or some technical requirements are mandatory so that you can work comfortably.
