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

Anyone else have an opinion?

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
