Have I missed it or has nobody yet asked what these five users will do?
Just Email? Video editing? Something in between?
If it's seriously heavy work, the 'workstation' needs to be a fairly
powerful server, such as might run half a dozen Windows VMs, with lots
of RAM and disc. If it's fairly lightweight to moderate, I'd use
separate Raspberry Pis or similar. The beefier Pis will run a desktop
fairly comfortably, for moderate office work. If this is about
multi-user gaming, then the OP needs advice from people who do this kind
of thing.
