I created one Laravel app with React. I use vue now. Although I'm not completely sold on using Vue(or React) for the front end.

For most Apps I still build them as a traditional web app with just enough javascript/jQuery on the front end as needed.

Granted Vue is really nice, I'm sure I'll move over to using it more.

Laravel feels similar to the Rails way.

The developer of Vue works closely with the Laravel community so there is great compatibility there.

Checkout the Laracon talks Evan speaks at Laravel Conferences.

Laracasts.com is similar to Railscast.com and a great place to learn Laravel. There are some free classes to get you started.

WordPress, y I still maintain some WordPress sites, I don't enjoy it but it's the easiest way to setup a blog/content site. I have some Laravel apps that are setup to connect to the WordPress database, it works well it's easy to setup objects in Laravel to interact with Posts, Comments, Reviews, etc. This is mainly for dashboards, batch editing of comments for VAs, etc.

As far as windows, I switched to OSX when I was learning Rails. I was always having problems with Rails tutorials and would spend 10s of hours on windows workarounds.

Using windows for Laravel is a little easier. Like Rails most of the tutorials, developers use OSX. I would recommend using a mac for development. It's just easier more productive.

Even the entry point macbook air is more than capable for Laravel or Rails development.

If you need one you could probably pick up a last gen macbook air on sale (new ones just came out and are $1199) I've seen them as low as $649 but have been on sale for $799 pretty often.

Laravel works well as a rest API it is setup for api routes out of the box. There are lots of tutorials for using Laravel as the backend and interacting with vue through an api.
