We've got three options for you. First, there's this HP.

HP Business Laptop, 14" FHD IPS Micro-Edge Display, AMD Ryzen 3 3250U (Beat i3-10110U), 8GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB SSD, Webcam, USB-C, HDMI, WiFi, SD Card Reader, SPS HDMI Cable, Win 11

And even though it's $10 over budget, there's this Gateway with a more powerful Ryzen 7.

Gateway 15.6" Ultra Slim Notebook, FHD, AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon RX Vega 10 Graphics, 512GB SSD, 8GB Memory, Tuned by THX Audio, Fingerprint Scanner, 2MP Camera, HDMI, Windows 11 Home, Blue (Renewed)

And then there's your Acer Aspire 5. Depending on the configuration, we service and upgrade these for our clients all the time. We need to know the complete model number, like A515-45-R1BF for example, and maybe we can give you some pointers and make it "cheaper to keep her". It's just a suggestion, but it's worked out for a number of our clients.
