I went laptops only years ago. My current workhorse is:

Intel® Core™ i5-1035G1 (1.0 GHz base frequency, up to 3.6 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)
12 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB)

(later upgraded to a 1tb SSD)

Honestly, for what I do these days, it is quite adequate for my use. (Cruising the YouToobs, Here, a few other places, downloading anime and manga to read/watch on the laptop or cast to the 50" tv)
I DO have a 4tb (2 mirrored 4tb drives) SAN unit, an old Iomega (now Lenovo) Ix2-3 that came with 2 1tb drives and has been upgraded twice to 2 x 2tb then 2 x 4tb drives (last one was done yesterday).
