Surprisingly, AMD is slower by 3D performance for the same price or more expensive for the same speed. But popular mid range AMD Radeon graphics are faster in G2D performance like 900 vs 650 benchmark. 2D performance is more important in Office applications.

You can save on a performance or gaming PC from a local computer guy or assemble a PC yourself. The price of the brand PCs with a faster i7 CPU exceeds the cost of OEM parts up to $500. For example, the i7 CPU as a part is only $230 more expensive than a i5, but a popular brand PC based on i7 is $800 more expensive than i5 of the same brand. Why? Gaming PCs are not the best seller. Brands need to assemble the PC as you order. Hence extra costs.

The most critical features affecting the price is the screen size and resolution. Laptops with screens 15.6 inches start from $800. All large screen laptops have Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, the same as your TV.
CPU speed is often overlooked but is essential for performance. Extra $200 will get you a twice faster laptop. To show the difference, I specified not CPU names but a benchmark speed from Passmark - one of the many popular benchmarking software.
Most office tasks need under 128GB storage, while 500GB may be required for large image collections.
If you are editing movies on a laptop, you may need a more expensive one. Although performance increase for office work is marginal. I omitted differences in design, battery and connections, such as USB or USB-C ports, as it is not substantial across models in the same price range.
