Software engineer here. First of all, unless your recording is of a mobile nature, I would recommend a desktop - far more powerful and configurable for the money. Latest gen core i7 intel and 32 GB RAM should be plenty. Choice of monitors is abundant, but Dell is normally known to make good ones with consistent quality.
My software recommendation may sound like a not so popular choice, however perfectly logical if you want to get serious - I use Ubuntu OS, because only a linux based OS will give you full control over your hardware, in which case avoiding proprietary walled gardens of M$ and Apple makes sense, plus you don't have to pay the brand tax and can invest that money into a good DAW instead - Ardour is a good one and there are other alternatives.
