Avid has a compatibility chart on their side and thats probably the place to get answers to this question. That being said general rules of thumb Pretty much any modern stock mack will get the job done minus maybe the air’s or least expensive mac mini. Processor wise i’d get an i7 if you can and definitely max out ram. Get an SSD. 128GB will be fine as your boot drive Since you will be using a second drive for Pro Tools Sessions anyways. And last i looked fusion drives weren’t qualified for Pro Tools use vy Avid (consult the aforementioned compatibility list) so avoid those at the moment.
