Hey all!
I know I've seen this info, but I cant seem to find it now.
I'm buying a new laptop, specifically for my Upwork jobs, and I need to know the suggested system requirements (ROM, RAM, Etc.) to use the desktop app.
Thanks!

Hi Perry,
This will depend also on the type of work you're performing and the background programs you have and are using your CPU.
A recent Intel or AMD laptop with 2 cores and about 4GB RAM would be enough for everything to run smoothly. If you're performing more complex work/tasks I would suggest investigating the optimal requirements of the programs you'll need to install on your computer.
If you're using only our desktop app and tracking time it will use less than 256MB, you can always view the performance by opening your task manager.
I can also suggest to always check your background programs as well and how much are they taking from your CPU. This way you won't have any problems, thank you.

If it's anything even reomotely recent, you'll be fine. It probably takes less resources than your browser when on these forums.
Any PC with a pre-installed OS should have no issue. There are installers for Windows, OSX, and Linux (Debian-based).
