Current performance on laptops?

I'm planning to replace my MBP soon and prices of 18 and 19 a bit high. I can purchase one, but it isn't an emergency.

Today, I saw a mid with an old Asus laptop running with mojave. After talking with the kid for a while, he said that he is pretty happy with his laptop ONLY with 4gb of ram.

I was wondering whats the hardware efficency on those things? Year or two ago, I made a hackintosh workstation but the hardware was pretty high standart so, I didn't realise any performance ups or downs.

If I purchase a "good" win. Laptop to install macOS, will the performance be good?

I mean, will the laptop work like it has whatever version i7 and 16gb ram in it, or slower than it should be?

This is my only question, if I'm going to get about the same hardware efficiency, than that is a good path for me to follow. However, if the performance drops on laptops, I think I will break my pink piggy bank for another mac...

Help is appreciated!

Ps: I'm good with coding, repairing and modifying stuff so WiFi card and such won't be an issue for me.
