It really helps when you tell us the Inventor version you will be using and what type of models will you be creating and modifying at home.
Are you a student or will this be a based on a commercial license?

Also what's you're budget?
I've seen 800.00 laptops work great
But as Mark asked, what are you going to do on it?
I had an i7-6700 w/12 gbs and a GTX 960m and it worked great on everything I did

Inventor (20)17 premium? No such thing.. 
Are you talking about Product Design Suite Premium? Which would have Inventor (standard) 2017?
How big are your models?

Surfaces etc in the weld fixtures?
You can get a good laptop / desktop ..
You could see some lag etc ..but how much are you willing to deal with:
I would look for the following if it's a laptop:
i7 / 16gbs min / GTX 9XX series or higher
desktop:
i7 / 32 gbs / gtx 10XX series or a good Quadro but if it's home more than likely it won't be in your budget

You can get more for a desktop than a laptop of similar cost, so if you don't *need* the portability (e.g. you already have a tablet, or only do generic browsing/email/etc. while mobile) then I'd recommend a desktop.
Another thing which can affect selection is how you're getting the license. If your expecting to borrow a network license from work, you'll either need to bring in the laptop and get rights to connect it to your network; or you'll need to get VPN or other remote access to the license server from a desktop or laptop. If this is a single-user Desktop/rental model license, those are managed through Autodesk servers and it's a bit easier, you might need someone with contract admin rights to ensure you can get to the right account.
