I purchased a PRO4848 kit last week. I don't have a spare windows machine / laptop to move out to the shop (pretty much all macOS here), so I am looking to buy a laptop to run Mach4 on.

Avid's website lists 16GB RAM (I assume this is for Mach4 + OS + plugin) / 1Ghz CPU recommended.
Mach support lists 1GB of RAM (I assume that is just for Mach4) / 2Ghz CPU / video card w/512MB+ of RAM recommended.

These are somewhat contradictory. Also, it's hard to find a low cost laptop with 16GB of RAM that I think will be reliable.

Can anyone provide real world guidance on RAM, CPU, video card requirements for running Mach4 with any plugins needed to drive the PRO4848 machine?

Thanks
