Laptop for X-Plane 12

Seahawk72s

SOH-CM-2023
Hi,
Recommendations for laptops that will handle X-Plane 12 please.
I've not used X-Plane before so I am a newbie as to recommend hardware that will run the simulation at best speed.
 
X-Plane 12 Recommended Requirements

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 8600K or Ryzen 5 3500 or better.
  • RAM: 16 GB.
  • VIDEO CARD: A DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 4 GB VRAM.
  • DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 4 GB.
  • PIXEL SHADER: 5.1.
  • VERTEX SHADER: 5.1.
  • OS: Windows 10 or 11.
  • FREE DISK SPACE: 23 GB.
 
Thanks for the info.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I am hoping to hear from a user who has 12 on a laptop and found a good balance between hardware, maybe more then the stated specs
and has excellent performance. I don't necessarily want to get a high end machine if its not needed.
