Typical laptops off the shelf offer 8G ram, 256G drive (beware of SATA 
instead of preferred PCIe) and if you are lucky a 1T SATA secondary HDD 
(mistake in previous post 1T not 1G).

Check the specs on these to see how much RAM you can upgrade to. 32G or 
better is what you want.

And always get a good CPU to start with. Ryzen 5 is very workable.
