The specs that you are providing seem to be high powered. A standard computer would be adequate to run office 365. These specs are certainly good enough to do what you need

I would not buy that. The A9 is based on AMD's excavator architecture and will be very lacking compared to their zen architecture. If you're going for a budget laptop, I'd recommend at least a Ryzen 3 2200U.

It is a 3 year old architecture and expect for the first week for it to be slow as Windows indexes things and optimizes.  Definitely need an SSD for this bargain bin notebook
What about this?

Dell Inspiron 5000 Series 15.6" FHD Notebook, AMD Quad-Core Ryzen 5 2500U Upto 3.6GHz, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, AMD Radeon Vega 8, HDMI, Card Reader, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, Windows 10 Pro
