It all depends on your budget.

Anyway, consider the following components in any computer you want to buy:

1. Processor: Get intel core i7 or at worst, core i5. Ensure its core i5 or i7 with HQ at end of the processor no. Those ones with letter U shouldn't be considered. AMD is a no-no. I"ve bought it before, so I won't advise u on that.
2. Ram: minimum of 8gb (though u can run with 4gb). The more the ram the better.
3. Of course, regular hard drives running 5400 rpm are ok but if u can, get one running 7200 rpm or step up your game and get a SSD.
4. Try consider one with a discrete graphics card like nvidia.
5. Consider the cooling vent/system of the laptop to ensure your processor gets cooled well enough. If you are like me, I don't buy laptop and play with em, i stress its life out so, consider the cooling system.

I think with these ones you should be ok.

1. Hp elitebook 8540p, core i5 520m, Nvidia nvs 5100 (1gb vram), 8gb ram, 256gb or 521gb Ssd (+ 1tb hard drive for storage purpose: u swap out your dvd drive caddy for additional hard drive), etc

I've used this specs and stressed its life very well so I can boldly recommend it. I use it for motion graphics/3d etc

2. hp elitebook 8650w core i7, (with same specs as above) just that the process is double the speed of what u have above and 2gb Nvidia

I prefer this old fellas cos of their semi-metal body. They tend to last longer than their plastic brothers
