Ideal Laptop spec' for running Sketchup
-
Hello again good people of the forum, I have a slightly different question for you this time:
My laptop struggles with some of the trickier processes. My most recent previous question on here about drawing some ribbed conduit that bends (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=46680) led me to "Shape Bender" which is a great PlugIn, but to bend one length of conduit once through 90degrees took over 10 minutes! I'm no computer nerd so please don't get too detailed with your responses, but I can tell you that I have a 2GHz dual core processor and 3Gb of RAM. What would you suggest would be minimal and ideal specifications for laptops?

Quad core, 4gb and dedicated GPU and 64bit OS.
The number of parameters around best for SU is subjective. it's a 32bit app so can't avail of more than 4gb of RAM on 64bit systems. But a good processor, enough RAM and a healthy GPU should yield good response time.
