There is not specific information what exactly hardware would be required to run Open Assistant. At the moment the project is in stage Data Collection. However the expectations are that the final model should be runnable on hardware that is affordable, but there is no information if that would include laptops etc. 
I hope that this information is helpful. Let me know if you need anything else.
