Laptop Computer Recommendation

Hi Drew @maglibinfo,

Although I could give you some generic recommendations / rule of thumbs about CPUs (see below), in the end the performance of an Intuiface experience will depend as much on the hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM) than as on the architecture of the experience and how optimized the media files are.

To make some kind of comparison, if someone creates a PowerPoint slide with 200 lines of text in a single slide, you can have the best eye vision / glasses, it will still be unreadable.

I’d suggest you share a couple of these 4K intensive experiences with our support team in a private ticket so they can test on a few of our devices and tell you how they run.

Now assuming an experience is will built and optimized, here’s the rule of thumb I’ve been using for a few years personally:

Using the CPU Mark from https://www.cpubenchmark.net/

  • Above 5000/6000 points is ok for “simple XPs”
  • Above 8000 is good for most single screen FullHD XPs
  • Above 10000 is good as a working machine (ex: my i7-10710U NUC mini workstation), good for single screen 4K XP.
  • Above 15000/20000 for video walls / multi screen projects

If it’s a single screen XP, Intel’s integrated GPU is usually more than enough with 8th gen and newer CPUs.
