I gave my laptop away a year or two ago (and I don't think the person I gave it to even uses it much, if any), so I don't have one right now. I may or may not get another one at a later date.
I got the one I had in mid-late 2013, and it was a Core i3 4010U (with the integrated HD4400 graphics) with 6 GB RAM and a 500 GB HDD. It still had a DVD drive! It came with Windows 8, which I promptly changed to Windows 7 at the time, and going to Windows 10 in 2020 once Windows 7 lost support. I also replaced the HDD with a 128 GB SSD the same year I got it. I eventually upgraded the RAM to 16 GB, but that happened many years later and shortly before I was done using it anyway.
Considering the cost and the options at the time, I was pretty satisfied with everything about it despite the low specifications... except for the display. That was the worst display I've ever seen (I've seen the same on other low end laptops with TN panels around the early 2010s after LCDs changed from CCFL backlit to LED backlit, and I have no idea if they've gotten any better, but cheaper IPS offerings have become a thing so I wouldn't even look at them regardless if I ever look to get another laptop). It was like like you were constantly looking through a severe vignette, regardless of where you positioned your head relative to the screen, because the viewing angles and color shift was just that bad. I don't know how anyone can willingly tolerate something like that.
Other than the screen, I was fairly happy with it for what I used it for.
In case you're wondering, it already could struggle with Minecraft when it was new, or well, it did by my standards. It could definitely be made playable though, especially up to 1.12. It was around the time of 1.13 that i felt it was getting into "too far gone" territory, but I did try 1.16 on it later, and that could perhaps be considered "playable", but not to my desires.
GT 210 (really bad for monitors the card sucked and swapping monitors when the card was the problem).
CPU not sure. RAM was 1-2 GB I think. Not great but it ran Windows 10 32bit fairly well to a degree. I think. Something my Toshiba N500 Netbook I got for $30 has Windows 10 Pro from the company that had the laptop, cable has to be plugged in.
Otherwise a HP 2 in 1 (Tablet/Laptop) from 2015, display model, got worse over time of battery. I've mostly just used it for study or put Flashpoint flash games on it that's about it. I had Minecraft Java/Bedrock, a bunch of MS/Windows 10 Store Apps and WipEout fan game or so on there but otherwise since it had to be reset from a prior image or whichever I've been more careful with it. Still runs bad though.
It kind of got Beta or 1.2.5 to work, anything higher and it's kind of bad for Java.Bedrock it worked fairly well.
Funny thread, will bring back some memories. When I started playing Minecraft I had some Acer whatever, then not long after I had a Core 2 Quad Q6600 with a dual SLI Geforce 8600GT setup (later upgraded to a GTX650 lol)
Over the years I've had many machines to play Minecraft on, currently I often just play on my M2 Pro Mac Mini since that little box is so powerful that Minecraft just never lags, even with hundreds of mods and shaders. That is, if I can find shaders that are compatible with Apple Silicon
As for a laptop my Framework 13 works fine with Minecraft although the native resolution might be too high when combining it with heavy mods and especially shaders.
Gone are the days of struggling with performance issues. That's both a 'Mojang optimising Minecraft' thing and a 'hardware getting better' thing. 1.7.10 with many mods still struggles on modern hardware
I use a crappy HP laptop, but if I get the money, I definitely will upgrade to my dream PC.

Acer TC 710 but with an SSD in it now for the C drive. That's 1.10+ onwards till about 1.17 release candidate. Had a differ one from 1.4.5 to 1.10
Other than that, not much really. The only real change would be from a monitor to a 32 inch Samsung TV from 2016 or so.
So basically a 2015/2016 study specs PC.
GT 720 GPU, I5 6400 CPU, 8GB of RAM. Pretty average.
My older one was more Windows XP related spec.
