No preference on weight.
Are Thinkpad P53s and P43s recommended? They are about 4.5k.
Which workstation would you recommend on budget?
53s and P43s uses the paltry intel 8th gen U series processors.
It is hopeful that the AMD's H series (4800H or higher) ws laptop options will be released soon....@around 4.5k..
Mainly(8 core to 8 core equivalence) because you pay approx. 25-30% less in price and you get equal to around 10-25% greater performance@default TDP while consuming up to 30% less power....

Hi looking for a laptop for my 65 year old father to use to work from home. Ideally 16" size(because he cant see letters too small) but not too heavy/bulky. He mainly needs it to send and reply emails, uses applications like Word and pdf reader so doesn't have to be high spec. Not too heavy because he might carry it around. SSD would be nice to have but not compulsory.

Thanks, do you know if any of those laptop have usb c display output also, and can charge at same time. I want to occasionally plug it to my monitor.
Specifically the Acer Swift 3's usb-c has power in (19v), usb 3.2 (10gbps) & display port out.... and should be able to reverse charge/power devices or portable usb-c monitors...

Any new model coming out? or price expected to go down?
From lenovo: Slim 7 and 5 with AMD 4000 series should be at 3k and up... (these should be XPS class in built quality but cost less). There's also likely be a thinkbook 14s: w 4000series. HP will have x360 or Envy w 4000series.

Was going to suggest Thinkpad with Ryzen 4000 but no idea when they will be available. The current (old) Thinkpads all have inflated prices so not sure whether you want to buy it now
Swift 3 SF314-42 still don't have 4700U model. 99% laptops have soldered CPU, same with Swift 3

Note that not all models have upgradeable RAM, including this Swift 3
