I must say, I also could not recommend any laptop with 4GB of RAM or a HDD. Must be 8GB of RAM minimum and SSD minimum.

As for CPU cores, it depends. A recent Ryzen or Intel Core CPU with 2 cores is okay, as long as it has hyper threading. But one of those dual core Celeron things is just too slow. So if it is a Celeron, it must be quad core, if it is not, dual core is okay but obviously quad core is better.

The days when you could get a decently performing laptop for under R7k are unfortunately long gone.

Asus Celeron notebook with 4GB ram and SSD do the job for most basic needs.
But don't expect much with the stock hard drive.
