The best way to see how Pirform will run on your machine is to take it for a spin! Read about our free 30-day trial here.
We recommend a system with at least the following specifications:
- An i3 or equivalent processor
- 2GB of RAM
- A solid-state hard disk (SSD)
If you regularly work on large jobs with tens or hundreds of boards then we suggest you increase that to the following:
- An i5 or equivalent processor
- 4GB of RAM
- A solid-state hard disk (SSD)
Shine Forms recommends Dell laptops
No, we aren't being sponsored buy Dell! But, our experience of using Dell machines has shown us that they are:
- Physically well constructed (which can matter if you're taking them around in the van and using them on site).
- They perform well.
- They have great support packages available which can help keep your business running.
- They are competively priced.
At time of writing, we would recommend this for anyone who doesn't regularly do jobs with multiple hundreds of boards:
Inspiron 15 laptop with an Intel i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage
If you are only doing small domestic jobs and want to spend a little less, then that model is available with a smaller CPU:
Inspiron 15 3000 laptop with an Intel i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage
