2012 Macbook Pro. Get the highest-spec Magsafe laptop you can find.

I second this. Catalina runs great on my 15" mid-2015 16GB/1TB, and it even runs shockingly well (bootstrapped) on my (unsupported) 13" mid-2009 8GB/512GB.

The 2009-2015 era of Macbooks are, not were, truly phenomenal machines.

What does bootstrapped mean? I’m surprised with Catalina running well on a 2009 MacBook. I felt it was slow on a Mac Mini 2014 where it is supported and went down one version.
