Now if you add the QHD resolution (2.5k) which is higher than FHD (1k) on top of the 17 inch display, you get an insane amount of extra space for row & graph visualization, there will be very little need to scroll up and down in some instances. This laptop is EXTREMELY lightweight despite having a gigantic display. The design is unique in that sense that it is the ONLY 17 inch laptop that weighs less than 3lbs. ![]() If you still want both the DDR5 RAM & PCIe 4.0 storage, you can try and look for 12th gen Core i5 laptops (we’ll go over one soon). The CPU is overkill for QuickBooks and overkill for pretty much any accounting software but there’s not another laptop with the extra features we’re about to go over : Display, weight and build quality. It will further speed up the data retrieving and data-writing processes because the 4.0 has substantially more ‘bandwidth’ than the common 3.0 PCie. I talk about storage speed in the last section but basically PCIe 4.0 is the latest and fastest SSD set up on laptops as of 2023. What’s more important here, however, isn’t how much RAM you get (because RAM can be upgraded as shown in this tutorial) but rather the type.ĭDR5 is the latest RAM technology on laptops as of 2023 and has a much bigger bandwidth which is going to be overkill for most instances except those when you have to deal with a myrid of operations on a large data file. Let’s not forget you’ll probably have Intuit Data (for back ups), MS Office (with data integration) and perhaps a few other apps open. It’s got EVERY SPEC maxed out : RAM, CPU, SSD and even the display is top of the line.Īlthough I said all you need 8GB RAM, 16GB will be more of 100% fool proof against any ‘RAM spikes’ where your operating system suddenly starts updating itself or just running to many background processes for the ocassional extra RAM usage. This is a laptop with the optimized specs on the table. I’m only going to post ONE with these hardware specs. I would invest on them if you spend most of the day using quickbooks. Laptops with the optimized hardware requirements are very few and expensive…though remember although they will speed up performance with the software it does not mean they are a must to be productive with the software. Laptops with the good requirements are very easy to find and will sell anywhere from 350-600 dollars depending on how fast you want the CPU or how good you want the display to be. If you want a better explanation on how the optimized hardware specs speed up performance in QuickBooks, check the tutorial on the last section Top 5 Best Laptops For QuickBooks It has enough RAM for Win & QuickBooks & Quicken w/ 40 web browsing tabs open but what’s more important is the ‘type’ of RAM & storage (DDR5 & NVMe w/ 4 lanes) which should eliminate any loading times altogether. ![]() ![]() Optimized – This is NOT required but this is the kind of hardware that will get you the BEST performance with ANY bookkeeping or accounting software including QuickBooks. QuickBooks will run fast and as soon as you lower RAM (to 4GB), the software will become unusable.You’ll lag even if you just have MS Office and a web browser with 4GB RAM because Windows 10 or 11 will take up most of it. It is found on pretty much any laptop above 400 bucks. Good– These are the upgraded recommendations. Let’s re-write the official recommendations to something more realistic: Q: What If I also can afford a more powerful CPU? Will it help even a bit?Įven if the data files of your business get super large which is what will have over a long periods of time, it’s very unlikely a modern CPU (even those found on budget 350-400$ laptops) will struggle.Īdding a bit of more clock speed can slightly (maybe by a few milliseconds) reduce loading times on operations. The CPU is very unlikely to bottleneck QuickBooks unless it’s a very old CPU. TL DR: QuickBooks isn’t CPU intensive but rather disk and memory intensive.
