<p class="MsoNormal">Randy, I am about to replace my laptop this summer. My current RAM is 16GB and it is not enough to run Pro efficiently in my opinion. I will be using the specs listed by Esri here for Pro System Requirements:
<a href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/arcgis-pro-system-requirements.htm">
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/arcgis-pro-system-requirements.htm</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I plan to choose optimal requirements preferably just because in a few years “optimal” will only be “recommended” or “minimum”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">++++++++++++++++++<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Specs for Optimal are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CPU: 10 Cores<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OS: x64<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hard Drive: 32GB or more Free Space SSD (this seems extremely low to me. Should probably be minimum 500 GB – 1 or 2TB depending on how much data you work with.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RAM: 64GB<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dedicated Graphics Memory: 4GB or more<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">DirectX: <span style="color:#4C4C4C;background:white">DirectX 11, feature level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#4C4C4C;background:white">OpenGL: <span class="ph">
OpenGL</span> 4.5 with the ARB_shader_draw_parameters, EXT_swap_control, EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, and EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic extensions</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It appears NVIDIA GPU / 16GB or more is recommended to run Spatial Analysis with Pro optimally.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our agency is moving all staff to laptop computers. The computers currently being provided look like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RAM: 8.00 GB<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Internal hard drive: 232 GB<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Graphics card: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our GIS users find these systems to be less than optimal (those of us who have access to our old desktop systems continue to use them).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are or plan to be running ArcGIS Pro exclusively on a laptop, what specifications would you recommend for optimal functioning of the software’s capabilities?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
