Laptop suggestions for Modern.ie images

I'm thinking of getting a laptop for running the VirtualBox images on modern.ie

I have no idea what I need to run this comfortably.

I was thinking more about processor and RAM.

I might have two images open at the same time. Would something like this be enough for that?
