I bought an $800 gaming laptop 6 years ago, formatted everything and installed windows. Handles 100% of my dev work inc emulators and media editing.

If I could recommend something, it would be to look for similar. A SSD + Name Brand Video Card in any laptop will be fine.

Useful note for today is that reinstalling Win10 on a device that already has a license is usually very easy - it automatically detects the motherboard serial or whatever and doesn't even ask for anything.
