What Kind of Laptop Do You Think I Should Buy For 3D Modeling/Slicing?

I’m getting a Prusa MINI+ to start 3D printing and I’m currently looking for a new laptop as my current one is about six years old, slowly wearing out, and isn’t powerful enough to do 3D modeling and slicing without lots of upgrades and repairs. Since I’m on the MINI+ none of my prints will be particularly big and I don’t imagine they’ll be too complex.

I don’t need anything too fancy, but something that can get the job done for what I’ll be printing. The cheaper I can get what I need, the better. A $2000 laptop would be nice, but I’m not really in the position to spend that much just yet, I’m really looking for something that I can get under $1000, but if there is something great for just over that then I’d consider it.

Also, I’ll be in NYC soon for college so I’d need something portable (12-14 inches is what I’m picturing) to travel around the city with.

I’ve done research, but no clear answer yet, so any input would be very much appreciated!
