Laptop & NAS help - Small business with budget

Hi
I have a client who runs a bookkeeping business and has secured a grant to update their existing office setup. They have 1500 (inc vat) to spend on 2x laptops, 2x Office H&B 2010, and a NAS (my recommendation).

Basically, the 2x staff mostly work in the same office but sometimes work remotely. 2x decent laptops (one for each) required - I was thinking HP Probooks as I've had good experience with them but i5's are killing the budget. Office suite is pretty standard. I thought of a single bay Synology NAS to use and then cloud incremental backup or a cheaper two bay NAS (Buffalo or something) and then RAID 1 to mirror.

Any help would be much appreciated - I'm struggling to get below 2k without skimping on what I think they need.

Thanks in advance
