While I do love MemEx perhaps you might want to purchase from a provider who supports Linux. System 76 is one of the better known ones & below is a link to a system close to what you want for around $750: * https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/gazp9
Looks like you can still get Windows 7 at MemEx as well. With ultimate being around $200 that should still bring you in under your budget amount.
