That's a strange question..I use MacOS by the way. But I think the services work identically on every laptop.
Agreed, I think every laptop will work here. Just use the OS you're familiar with.
Not any laptop is good for this task, if we have a laptop with a 128Gb ssd, that will not enough to run a full bitcoin node. It is important to have an SSD for most of the coins nowadays, any coin node runs faster with this piece of hardware. So, the best thing to do with a laptop (if we want to use it with cryptos) is to but at least 1TB in ssd.
If you want to use that laptop for mining, then you can chase a laptop with a nice graphics card. like a 1060 nvidia or something better.
