It will depend very much on the size and content of your projects.
Vector layers are very efficient in resource usage. If you happen to use
raster layers, the software dedicates a lot of resources to caching
them, so that is where insufficient memory or swap may become an issue.
If you do work with large projects, adding a 100 GB or larger SSD purely
for swap purposes is a lot cheaper than 32 GB of system RAM and not a
great deal slower.

Hi,
Someone will come up with a more intelligent answer than me but I have
been running QGIS with a 10 year old dual core laptop with Windows
7-64 and 4Go of memory. I find that the actual limits are mostly
imposed by the data and the project complexity rather than the
software. An SSD did save the laptop from the garbage bin!
For anything serious, I use a desktop computer that would make most
gamers cry with envy...

Dear all,
I am currently working with the QGIS version 2.18 Las Palmas but I
will soon switch to the latest 3.4 LTR version.
I have been reading through the question blog in order to figure out
which are the minimum hardware requirements for the latest version.
All previous given answers are already outdated. More specifically, I
would like to know, since I am a laptop owner, what are the following
minimum requirements:
* 1) Speed of CPU and how many cores.
2) How much disk space is needed for installation.
3) Size of Hard Disk and swap space.
*
* 4) Minimum RAM memory.
*
* 5) Display and screen resolution and lastly.
6) Graphics memory.
Many thanks in advance and looking forward to your answer.
Irene Vikatou
