Anything above Core2Duo should do, 8GB of RAM (works OK with 4GB) and 32GB of disk space (HDD or SSD or NVME).
See here for some more info:

And see here for some laptops that work, just do not bet on it as you might find the same model that does not work, i know i did

Later versions of Debian (we use debian 12 bookworm) requires careful optimisation on 2 core machines. I would suggest a 4 core Celeron, 4gb RAM, any sized SSD

Don't get stuck in the trap that you have to use the latest version of LinuxCNC my CHNC Lathe with an older motherboard runs fine with Ubuntu 10 and EMC 2.7 linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/ I actually prefer the older EMC to LinuxCNC in most older machines as it's much more straight forward and not cluttered up with a dozen GUI's all competing to be the flashiest lol.Is there any requirement for building a Linuxcnc computer.

just be aware that later hardware may need a later OS to get driver support.

Maybe some kind of burnt offering or sacrifice as well. This is purely meant in jest.
Tho I think my "life choices ability" requires an exorcist or something.
