>laptops that have quad core cpus are still pretty expensive

They are really not. If you are after performance on a tight budget, you can get a ThinkPad E14 with 6-core (that's 6 physical cores) Ryzen APU and 16GB of RAM for under 900 dollars [1]. You still get a good quality keyboard and the trackpoint nub if that's your thing (I'm a happy user of an older Thinkpad E485).

I was looking at the T14 AMD laptop a few days ago, if it had a 4k or 1440p display option I'd considering getting it.
