HM2 doesn't have any CPU, RAM cap. The more you have, the more it will use.
(and the bigger your database is, the more RAM it would like to use)
(HM1 did have a CPU, RAM cap, and couldn't fully utilize a fast computer)
Besides the CPU and RAM, even more important is the harddisk speed: get a SSD drive for Windows and the PostgreSQL database.

especially the part of editing PostgreSQL.config making tweaks on how much (RAM) PostgreSQL can use.
Desktop vs Notebook doesn't matter, but do make sure it has an SSD. (fast Notebooks with an SSD, tend to still be a lot more expensive, then if you'd build a desktop)
Transferring your NoteCaddy notes:
-you can transfer your note definitions (by exporting them in NoteCaddy)
-or in HM2--> Home tab--> Database--> you can backup both your notes and NoteCaddy definitions
Combining notes: ideally don't use separate database -for different stakes- each with separate notes, since combining the notes will be difficult.
If you have as a note of a NL50 player
Code:
crazy donkey, triple barrel bluffs 3bet pots
Then of the same player on NL100 you have a different note (since you have a separate database with only NL100 hands)
Code:
crazy donkey, triple barrel with overbets = nuts
Combining the two notes it will ignore the words crazy, donkey, triple, and barrel, as it will think these words are all duplicates. It won't understand "crazy donkey" is duplicate and it can ignore the second entry for this, but the line "triple barrel" should not.
