If you're buying NEW, it will be good enough. But if you're into playing a lot of volume, I'd recommend your budget goes as much to your monitors. Even using a laptop, it is worth hooking up to separate screens if you're going to multi-table your evening away.
You should be able to get away with $500 or even less. IN the Uk, where I live 300GBP is plenty for a poker laptop.
That said, if you have a lot of additional software you want to run (HUD, ICMizer, etc.) then it can start to grind. Get an i5 chip or Rizen or newer. Go for extra RAM. you cannot go wrong putting 16GB in your laptop.
Make sure you get a solid state hard drive. Solid state is so much faster than traditional HDD. The difference is night and day.
Other than that, spend your money on a comfortalble chair, or better still, a sit-stand desk. Poker can be long and gruelling and hard on the body if you're not m,oving.
But alas, I'm now heading completely off topic so will stop here!
