OP, just so you know, you've called out the computer geeks, which is good and bad. Just be aware that's what you've done.
You're going to get lots of "must have a solid state drive". There are pros and cons to these, and for my personal uses, they're not worth it. They do cost more. If you're rough on your laptops, then yes they might be a good idea.
Based on your list, what you want is:
-Windows 10
-Built in camera/mic
-Office suite
-USB ports
-HDMI port
Pretty much any laptop will have these, none of these are crazy. If there's a specific port that you need for projection that isn't USB or HDMI, that might be more unusual.
Then you need to decide what kind you want. A traditional laptop? Or one that is 2-in-1, that can be a laptop or function as a tablet? Your preference. Look at pictures online to see the keyboard setup.
This will help you sort through all the options out there, just a bit.
