Ones that only have a dedicated NVIDIA or AMD GPU, without any integrated Intel one. Other than that, one with preferably at least 8 gigabytes of RAM as well as the highest possible single-core CPU performance. I myself can't really go into more specifics than that.

A desktop computer.

Gaming laptop is an obvious choice. Any model from 2014 and onward will be good enough. I'm currently using Acer Predator Helios 3000 with 8th-gen Intel i5-8300H, 8GB RAM and GTX 1060, and the laptop is way overkill for SFM. Of course, SFM works great on my machine.

Whatever model you're gonna get I highly recommend to get one with 8GB RAM if you prefer multitasking while using SFM in the same like I do.

I would add that if you're in doubt, post a link to whatever you're thinking of buying here and ask people to check that it's up to specification.
ASUS Computer? it works for me.

Definitely a good choice. Wether you want to look for cheaper model, it's up to you.

I got a HP Notebook with 4GB of RAM. It runs SFM pretty well, and I can have programs open in the background without much hassle (Blender, Spotify, Gimp, Chrome, etc). My only complaint would be not having a mouse (I have a touchpad), but I plan on fixing that by purchasing a USB mouse.

I just want one that has the minimum requirements in sfm.
You know, there are several cheap business laptop models with GTX MX150 graphic chip that would be good enough for you. So, make sure to look for one with 8GB RAM pre-installed or a model that you can upgrade the RAM capacity on because most models with the afformentioned graphic chip I've seen so far has 4GB with one slot.

Dude, stop whining like there are literally nobody helping you at all. Just get the Dell Inspiron laptop you found and be done with it.

What is the graphics card in the laptop

I have an HP Spectre except it has an Intel core processor, except the graphics card isn’t what it is
