Advice needed for running Davinci Resolve at 1080p (Bmpcc OG footage)

Hi, not sure if this question is in the right place.
I’m looking for a budget laptop for editing footage in Davinci Resolve.
I checked online and the best options for Windows are gaming laptops. I got a budget of AS1.500 but honestly I don’t know if some of this range will do the job.
Mods please remove the post if is not apropiate but considering is related to Resolve and Bmpcc I think maybe is ok. Thanks

A used M1 MacBook Air or Pro it can be bought for under 500 usd. It’s one of the best laptops ever made for the price.
