Help with virtual background requirements

[TxTeacher]

I need to invest in a newer model laptop to optimize my Zoom Workplace for online tutoring. I looked in the article to see the system requirements to run virtual backgrounds without a green screen but I'm still confused. It says I need it have a intel processor i5-3000 or higher. I think that means 3rd generation, but none of the laptops I see in the store have any with that number. I see one that says it's 12th generation core i5 but the model number says 1235 which seems less than 3000, but the generation is higher. Will the  12th generation work or not?

The generation is not important. It is the number of cores. An i7 with 16 GBs of RAM is the best choice. I have a $200 computer running windows 10 Pro that works just fine. However, even with a high powered desktop computer with a separate graphics card it is still best to use a green screen.
