A used thinkpad for 1/3rd of that price. Perfect tu run Linux Mint. As a used device there'll be w10 on it, you can dual-boot when needed to ease the transition.
LibreOffice will get you covered in all .doc .xls etc matters.
I don't know of any laptop that's really certified for a 3 feet drop tho.
I second this, if there's a company that sells former company PCs in your area, they'll probably have a selection of ThinkPads.
You can get them on eBay pretty cheap too I got an i5 t470 for like 60 bucks shipped. Threw in 32GB of RAM and a 1TB ssd and it's impossible to beat that spec for 250 bucks all in
