Hello,

 

Which is the best computer for quickbooks? I am starting a new business, and planning to get a new laptop or desktop computer. I read some good reviews on websites and I like the DELL XPS 13. What do you guys think? Is there any other good option?

 

Suggest any other option from https://try10.com/best-laptops-for-quickbooks/

Congratulations on your new business, @wahabtawab400.

 

There are a lot of good options for laptops or desktop computers you can use to get the best QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) experience. The DELL XPS 13 is also a good choice of computer hardware. However, it'll be up to you to decide which is the best one to use.

 

You just need to make sure the laptop or desktop computer meets the minimum system requirements for the QBDT program. This will ensure the system is compatible with your setup and help avoid any possible issues when installing and using it in the future.

 

Depending on the version of the QBDT program you want to install on your computer, you can refer to this article about the operating system, hardware, software, and other requirements to run QBDT: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2021.

 

Please know that you're always welcome to comment below if you have other concerns or follow-up inquiries about system requirements and managing your business using QBDT. I'm just around to help. Take care.

Dell XPS 13 is one of the best options. Some of our team members have been using Acer Swift 3 since last month to run multi QB Desktop versions without any issue.

    Good point in the Mac. I too have a Mac and am struggling with the Mac version. Do you use a hosted Windows for QB? If so what hosting do you use for it? I am thinking I need to go to a Premier version and can’t do that with a Mac.

    If you owned a Mac and prefer using QBD Windows, you may have 3 options:

    1. Utilize the Parallels. You will need to have a Windows OS license.

     

    2. Deploy a private cloud. You may prepare a Windows machine on your premise and your Mac will access it by internet connection

    3.  Put your QBD license and data file(s) on an authorized QB cloud hosting.

    Before choosing a laptop for QuickBooks, it's essential to understand the software's system requirements. QuickBooks can run on both Windows and Mac operating systems. However, the system requirements vary based on the version of QuickBooks you're using.

     

    Here are the minimum system requirements for QuickBooks Desktop:

    • Windows 10 or Mac OS X v10.15
    • 2.4 GHz processor
    • 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended)
    • 2.5 GB of available disk space

     

    Features to Consider in a Laptop for QuickBooks

     

    Processor: The processor is the most crucial aspect when it comes to QuickBooks. A laptop with a fast processor will help in running QuickBooks smoothly. We recommend a laptop with a 9th or 10th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor.

    RAM: QuickBooks can be quite memory-intensive, and you need a laptop with sufficient RAM to handle it. We recommend a minimum of 8 GB of RAM.

    Storage: A laptop with SSD storage is preferred as it offers faster read and write speeds. A minimum of 256 GB of SSD storage is recommended.

    Display: A laptop with a high-resolution display is ideal for QuickBooks. It helps in viewing multiple windows and tabs without straining the eyes. We recommend a laptop with at least a Full HD (1920 x 1080) display.

    Battery Life: A laptop with a long battery life will help you work uninterrupted for hours. We recommend a laptop with a battery life of at least 8 hours.
