Laptop for e-learning

Looks like my 5 year old will be starting kindergarten at home this year. They are talking about a blended e-learning and in person set up.
We currently do not have a computer other than my work laptop so it's shopping time.
It definitely needs a camera and I would think touchscreen would work better for her as she is familiar with it from her fire tablet. Of course, it's a laptop for a 5 year old so I'd like to keep it cheaper.
Any recommendations?

Pretty much anything will work.
You will pay extra for a touch screen.

This. If the school system isn't already using google classroom they are or will be using another web based system. All you need is a web browser.

Chromebooks are the way to go for the kids. Our school system invested in technology a few years back and they have a Chromebook for every kid in every classroom at the Elementary levels. It was part of their daily learning routine in the K-5 schools, and was used some in the Middle and High Schools as well.
When we were doing e-learning in the spring, after schools started back up we had the option to check out a chromebook for each student if we wanted to, so I ran through the carpool line at each school and checked one out. My kindergarten student had a weekly google classroom call, and we used it the other days to take pictures and submit assignments to a class portal. My 6th grader had a call each week in each subject and did the same, as well as some learning sites they had licenses for.

Thanks for the advice, I'm in IT and I needed confirmation I wasn't overthinking things and buying a $700 laptop. Really wanted confirmation a Chromebook would do the job from those that have had to e learn.

The schools here provide the Chromebooks.
