For the Vuforia Studio -you need a windows or mac platform with medium performs to be able to install Vuforia studio.
On windows it could be windows 10 with chrome 8- 16 GB Memory and node installation. Also, low performance devices it will work for the studio installation with enough performance - no problem. So, I think- you can use a machine mac or windows which will works reasonable for some Desktop application like Microsoft office (in the meantime office requires also a lot of system resources)
But depending on the complexity of the models you want to use- a geometry with high complexity and also some shader features etc. or any development for HoloLens where you try to use also Vuforia engine with unity and AR toolkit - in this case it will be better to have a laptop / or notebook with better graphical performance
