Not a laptop, but I found a steam deck with a bluetooth keyboard works well for me. It ranges from $400 to $650 new depending on the model, not including accessories. Though a stand and a bluetooth keyboard shouldn't be too expensive. That said you do have to put up with a smaller screen size and keep track of the keyboard, stand, and possibly a mouse on top of the steam deck itself.
EDIT: forgot to add, depending on your needs you may be able to skip the keyboard. If all you're doing is web browsing and posting on social media you could get by with either the on screen keyboard or the kde connect app.
thats. actually quite smart. whats the limitation about screensize?
It's a handheld limited to 1280x800, but I haven't found it particularly hard to adjust.
