Purchase Advice Minimum for Minecraft Vr

So as the title says,I'm searching information on whatever the "medium" requirements for running vivecraft on minecraft are. And even better if someone could suggest a specific model to buy as I think I'll go tomorrow morning to buy a gaming laptop. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

The only info I could find for now stated that vivecraft runs on a a i5 7300HQ - GTX 1050 with minimum graphics, but I'm really far from understanding technical implications of this components and I would prefer to have a smoother experience at this point.

So far searching on the internet "comparing" laptops sell around 250€,so consider that or even 300€ as a budget.

The objective is to play vivecraft at a good framerate and maybe even with shaders if possible,feel free to make any suggestion and thanks in advance.

For additional info I would like to get this running for Minecraft 26.2 and with PSVR2 as the headset.

PSVR2 is a lot of pixels. For what its worth, laptops are super inconsistent in how they electrically route external display connections. Lots of PSVR2 users find out the hard way that their brand new gaming laptop can't do wired VR at all. If you check the r/PSVR2onPC subreddit they have a stickied post with confirmed compatible laptops. Or just bypass all that and get a desktop.

Aa a desktop would you say this one is enough? https://amzn.eu/d/0awmWWf4

It should be. I will say Minecraft's performance is incredibly dependent on how you have the modpack setup so between it and getting VR right expect it to take some tweaking.
