I can’t really give you specific models or anything but my one piece of advice is if you don’t want / can’t get a Mac, then whatever you get needs to have at least 16 GB of RAM. Preferably more.

Laptop model is irrelevant, look at specs. The most important thing for running a VM locally is having enough RAM. If you’re going to do a ton of that look for a laptop with 32 gigs of RAM. Pretty much the most important thing. Then ofc pick a solid multi core CPU (is single core even a thing anymore?). I mean more power will always benefit you
