Opinions wanted on hardware requirements for app building and power platform

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Fleur 30

I've read the article Microsoft provide on minimum or recommended hardware but these seem to be pretty low.  In my personal  and somewhat limited experience I find that when I have canvas studio open plus some complex power automate flows in edit, things seem to get kind of slow.  The same with Power BI.  My internet is fast (for Australia anyway) so I'm not sure if hardware specifications play a role here at all.
I'm in the market for a new computer, so apart from a large screen (which I feel is essential), do I need to be looking at anything special for my hardware specs?

    Of course the Minimum requirements will slow down when you have complex editing. But Power Apps and Power Automate are web based applications so the speed of your Internet connection is more important that the specs of your hardware.
