Min 16gbs ram, (32 GB recommended)

Min 2.7ghz cpu/processor, (Anything above an i5)

These computers are expensive so they are not only meant for SolidWorks, but also everyday use and can also be used in collage as well.

<p class="callout warning">If you need help finding a computer or want to find a cheaper one than is on normal vendors look for refurbished computers or message in CAD chat in discord, and someone will help you find a computer in your budget.</p>
