System requirements for laptop/PC

I was going to replace our boat laptop this winter now that Windows 10 is out of service and was wondering about any system requirements for CPU, like number of cores and speed, RAM and GPU. Does it matter whether it is Intel or AMD?
And what would be a specification (not just min.) that will be good for the foreseeable future without spending too much money on it? 
For instance would an Intel i5 or i7 with 4 cores and 16GB still be sufficient. Or should it be rather a Core 5 or Core 7 or even Core Ultra. Just wondering.
Thanks for sharing any input.

The main thing with Windows is not to have less than 16GB memory.

If you do lots of routing, a higher performance core count is good.

Any suggestions on setting up Windows 11?  Got a new micropc ( MeLe) but realize I dont want it doing auto updates and restarting just as I am motoring out to the start line!
