I am ordering a new laptop soon. What are reasonable specs I should use for a new laptop?

Opps, I forgot: This will be a Windows 10 machine.
These are the minimum specifications. https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007506971
Here is what is recommended. https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007554992-Recommended-Hardware-and-Software
Thank you Lynden!
An SSD is a must have!
Buy this now.

Time to revisit the new Laptop Advice Column
I want Laptop PC for travel that will not move around a lot. Sort of a Desktop replacement. I want it to last for several years to come. I am willing to spend a little for a good one.
Suggestions? 15" 16" 17" Dell? Asus ROG? Proart? Should I focus more on Video card (3080) or processor (i9 12950) or RAM (16MB - 64 MB)?I am hoping for a max of $2500

You'd get much more bang for the buck with a desktop, in that case. You could probably buy an inexpensive laptop with the savings.
True, but I will be traveling some and prefer not to lug a desktop...but I may rethink that.
I have had good experiences with the ASUS ROG line
I know you are talking windows, but for comparison:
$2500 will buy you:
(True, you'd still need to get a keyboard, monitor, mouse... but still).
A different solution to this equation: Buy a moderately supped up laptop, but not exactly top of the line:
Spending $2500 on a laptop to largely stay at home probably isn't the best option.
I can spend half that on a laptop for home use because it meets all my requirements that used to require a desktop.

I also work with Photoshop, LIghtroom, moderate video editing and some light Programming in Visual Studio C# / VB.I don't need super high-end performance, I am totally not a gamer. I do want to be future proof or at least resistant.
I recently bought this one.
ASUS TUF Gaming F17
11th Gen Intel 6-Core i5-11260H

The school bought me a new laptop and printer and paper and ink.
The screens on the MAC are smaller for even the most expensive models. I need the 17 inch because I am so blind. The battery life is awful on this. I cannot get through a 3.5 hour class. This laptop plus the cord are HEAVY.
I would have preferred a business laptop to a gaming laptop, because I have had bad luck with overheating of the graphics cards that I don't need. But the business laptop were so much more for the same specs.
I very happy with my Lenovo Yoga windows 11 laptop.... It does all I can and need to do.... cost was $840 incl tax..
for those on fence for the newer MacBook pros, they are still $400 off at Amazon (and probably BestBuy I would guess, store will match) at the moment.
Next time when I'll buy a laptop, I'll try to get a 1000 GB SSD.
Large screen with high resolution might be good when using mostly on the home desk.
I have a touch screen in my laptop but currently it is not terribly useful in Logos.
Not germaine to GaoLu's question, but in choosing a future laptop, I think, more and more, the decision is 'laptop and tablet/phone' (both). I now shop apps so I can use the same app across all my devices (MBP, iPhone, IPad and strangely enough iPod).
The other issue is expansiveness in Logos itself. I probably push its edge, but my in-use memory is moving along toward 16g's (probably not by necessity, but efficiency).
Even 1/3 will get you a Windows laptop that will run Logos/Verbum quite well for some years.
Thanks to all for the helpful input. I also edit video, and do some programming in C# / VB / SQL. All on one semi-portable computer. So that is also something.
