Hello, I am seeking input on whether my 7 year old Mac with 8GB RAM and a
2.7gigahertz processor is likely to perform poorly at running QGIS. Since
these are like the bare minimum in terms of power, and I assume QGIS is a
data-heavy program, I may need to invest in a new computer. Anyone have
advice on RAM and processing speed specifications that I should look for
and whether a PC be better than a Mac for running this program?
I am running QGIS on a 2012 Mac Mini (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7) with 8 GB
RAM running OS X 10.13.6 (High Sierra).
I use multiple vector layers plus a buildings layer, DEM, areal
photography (color 1 foot res) covering a 30 square mile area.
Performance seems excellent.
I have replaced my hard drive with SSD which may be making a significant
difference.
I recommend trying QGIS on your old Mac - you may be surprised...
Cordially,
Garth Fletcher
