Best laptop for one thousand pounds ?

I am returning to the UK within the next couple of weeks and have to replace my aging laptop.

I have a thousand pound budget (not directly my money, so no benefit in saving on purchase price). All software on top of that.

I use the laptop daily and travel a lot (so rugged and reasonably light). Good(ish) battery life would be helpful.

High quality screen with high resolution (as long as my aging eyes last out) is high on list of priorities.

Mainly multi programme use but generally limited to Word, Excel (large budget spreadsheets) and regular Powerpoint work. Hopefully will improve my access skills in coming months.

No need for mega storage (in modern day terms) as no major photo/video/editing requirements.

Not really a gamer so no great graphic demands. Similarly no music interest.

May use as a home (expat apartment) entertainment console.

Your recommendations welcomed.
