What do i need to torrent?

To start with, I've been torrenting for a while now. Always just used my laptop. It started acting weird, so I got a new laptop, and just used the one that was acting weird to torrent when need be. Now, it's at the point where it barely wants to work, so I'm looking at getting something new to replace it.

I don't need something fancy or expensive. I'm just wondering, if like an ACER running Intel Pentium Silver, or something along those lines will suffice. I'd rather avoid a chromebook, as I know how unreliable those are.

If this isn't an acceptable post for here, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction of where I should be asking this.

TIA
