So unless your CPU is 10 years old, operations and tasks in QB will NEVER peak the processor. In other words, QuickBooks isn’t CPU intensive but rather disk and memory intensive. The second section of this post will explain what I mean in utmost detail explaining how the software works and what hardware can help speed it up. You just need to focus your budget on a few specs over others. So at this point some slowness/loading times have become part of the user experience.īy this I mean a laptop that can offset the software’s intrisic tendency to lag so even the most mundane task can be processed as fast as possible.ĭon’t worry you don’t have to pay an eyeball for these… Since it’s relatively old, it seems that the backbone code hasn’t been well optimized. There’s been a problem with QuickBooks since it’s release. Unfortunately, you may still face loading bars when running execution tasks and/or when saving/opening certain (heavy) files. Going with the official requirements doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the best performance with the software. If you check the hardware requirements on the official site, you’ll realize that virtually every modern laptop with Windows 10 Home will do.
Like most software for accounting, you don’t need anything special to run QuickBooks (either as single user or through a network).
