Default Computer for MSFS

My laptop's life is nearly over, and I'm looking for a new one. My old one couldn't handle MSFS, but I would like for it to work on my new one. What system specs should I look for?

One of my specific questions is, do I need an i7 processor, or is an i5 sufficient?

I'd check on MicroSloths website for hardware mins.

No way you need an I7. I run MSFS X on an old P4 desktop that I built for just that purpose. More importantly than the CPU, you need the RAM and graphics card that will handle it. You could probably google system requirments for MSFS and go from there.
