Question/Help/Troubleshooting advice on buying a prebuilt pc

hello! i am pretty much computer illiterate so please help give me suggestions for a desktop! my hp all in one from 2019 finally gave up on me. i am very against another all in one because that one was awful :)
i need to be able to use the computer for work and web browsing but that’s pretty much it. as long as it comes with windows 11 and can handle running word, teams, and a few web pages at the same time without being super slow, that’s enough for me. budget is about $600, not including monitors or anything else. i know this is limiting but i have to stay in my budget. so far i’ve looked into a Lenovo mini or an Acer Aspire, both with 16GB RAM & 512 GB SSD. thank you for reading & please help me ;-;

You might be better off with a mini pc for your use case.

Take a look over at r/MiniPCs and check their stickied megathread for a guide on most of the options available and the prices.

At $600 USD, you should be able to easily get something that's quite decent.
