If you don't necessarily need to be running Windows, then going for a Chromebook is an excellent alternative, and the IdeaPad Slim 3i from Lenovo is pretty great. It has an entry-level Intel Core i3-N305 processor, which should handle most productivity and day-to-day tasks just fine, and the 8GB of RAM isn't too bad, since it's running ChromeOS. Storage is a bit on the low side at 128GB, but this is a device made to access cloud services for the most part.
This IdeaPad 3i is a good alternative if you need Windows on a budget and don't want to get a Chromebook. It has a much more powerful midrange Intel Core i5-1155G7 processor and a respectable 512GB of storage. The RAM is a bit low at 8GB, although for the price, it's to be expected.
This 13.3-inch two-in-one convertible features a roomy 16:10 display wrapped in a compact fabric enclosure powered by the mid-range AMD Ryzen 5 7530U CPU, which is great for any work or day-to-day tasks. It also has 8GB of RAM, which is very respectable, and a spacious 512GB SSD. Sadly, it doesn't come with the pen, which you'd have to buy separately.
Luckily, Lenovo has quite a few good gaming options, and the IdeaPad Gaming 3 is a solid budget-friendly model. It comes with an RTX 4050, which is admittedly a budget GPU, but it's good enough for the 16-inch 1,920x1,080 resolution monitor. Interestingly, it can hit a 120Hz refresh rate, which the RTX 4050 might struggle with a bit on higher graphical settings. It also comes with a mid-to-high-end AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, a respectable 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The 13.3-inch display has a 16:10 aspect ratio to provide more vertical space (so less scrolling) with a 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution and what should be a sufficient 300 nits of brightness.
