Can't go wrong with a used T series from Ebay that's a couple years old. A quick search shows that you can get something like this for 320USD from a reputable seller:
Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U 2.10 GHz with Radeon Graphics 16GB 256GB
8GB is too little RAM these days otherwise I would also recommend the X13 model but those start at like 600USD for the 16GB models.
