I’d hate to find that I’m not addressing the minimum specs for PC laptop properly.

chipset will not likely have much bearing for data aquisition...
I have a "craptop" that runs a dual core brazos (read: not even enough grunt for a good tablet)
What is more relevant is disk speed....i replaced the HDD with a solid state drive, prior to which the avi capture fps was a joke
Plugging my 224 into the usb3 port now works like a bewdy for planetary avi - up to 60 fps.
For long exposure (DSO) work a HDD will be fine as there is not that much data coming from the camera
I don't do any stacking or image processing on this pc - i have to copy the files off
and let my desktop do the hard work.
If you want one machine to do the lot - a $250 special ain't going to cut it
