And also it needs high spec system for that to work properly,even I installed it initially but not aware of that it will take forever to sync on my laptop then I decided to move to electrum which is pretty simple for the normal users like me.

Wrong, Bitcoin Core isn't that heavy, you can run it on Raspberry Pi 2B which costs $25 and use only 5W. If you bother tweak it's configuration, you can run it on Raspberry Pi 0 which costs $5.

What Bitcoin Core actually need is user's patience fast connection for initial sync.

Very useful links... Can you provide me pdf of mastering Bitcoin book? don't know how to read on GitHub website..

You just need to select file with filename chxx.asciidoc on GitHub page to read it online, that's all.

Any link or website? Here everything new for me.

If everything is new, maybe you can start with:
- the official website: https://bitcoin.org
- Bitcoin wiki pages: https://en.bitcoin.it
- The free version of "Mastering Bitcoin" book: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

Edit: The main/"official" Bitcoin wallet is called Bitcoin Core. There are also altcoins (forks of Bitcoin) with the word "Bitcoin" in their name, some of them (especially Bitcoin Cash and their website bitcoin[dot]com) even attempting to claim (false advertising!) that they are the true Bitcoin and so on.
Some started calling the first coin Bitcoin Core exactly to avoid misunderstandings and get confused with those altcoins.

Because it's a full node. All full node wallet would require you to have plenty of space because you'll store the blockchain on your own computer.

Electrum is quick but you need to trust the server. Anyway, OP should spend more time in Wallet board (or increase his awareness of his surrounding).

Bitcoin core requires a lot of space. When I start downloading, it takes at least 243 GB even more to store a copy of the Bitcoin block chain.
