IDK, I think a lot of users get hand-me-downs and there seems to be a trend of lower power (energy efficient) computer being made these days. Not to mention if blender ever gets fully ported to tablet-like devices.
It might be better to target OS versions rather than hardware specs since computers haven't really advanced that much over the last five years other than throwing more cores at the problem. Something produced five years ago can still do 99% of what the average user needs and this target audience is probably a lot bigger than the amount of people that can plunk $1k down on a upscale box. As an aside, both of my working computers (a netbook & 5+ year old laptop) don't fall within these specs and aren't really good at *using* blender but are still good for testing.
