As LR is cloudbased, what are the system requirements for use on a laptop? The adobe site is offering specs for LR classic.
Are the requirements less for LR? Also if using LR web, are there no requirements on hardware for a laptop?
I was looking at an dell latitude 7390 with an i5 8th gen, 1.8ghz. 8GB RAM, £350. Its not for serious editing more the sorting stages, minor adjustments, cropping on photos synced as smart previews from classic etc. I have a desktop, LR CC photo plan for the serious editing!!!
Its an absolute mind field!! I mean is an older laptop, with a higher clock speed, 2.1-2,4 Ghz, actually better!!!

Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Here is the link for Lightroom V7.x https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/system-requirements.html
I have not compared Lightroom and Lightroom Classic but I would expect them to be comparable. You are looking at the same processing work load with the only difference being that LrC stores Locally and Lr store primarily in the Cloud.

LR Web just needs a local browser since all of its workload is server based.
