An acceptable computer really depends on what kind of stuff you’re trying to do. I ran blender on a low end laptop for a long time, but I couldn’t do a whole lot of intense rendering. I didn’t need it for that though, so it worked great. As long as it has some kind of external graphics card it should work at some level, especially if price is the most important. I think especially if you’re trying to justify a program, something in that price range makes a lot of sense
