Re: Minimum requirements for driver station laptop

Wow! Very helpful!

Anyway, I'll give you some actual advice and not just a snarky reply.

I'd recommend the following:

Processor: i5 or i7 from Intel. The i5 should be sufficient if you just want to use it for the driver station. If you'll be running GRIP or some other sort of vision processing software go for the i7.

RAM: 8gb or 16gb. Also dependent on the use case. 8gb should be fine, but go for more if you want to run vision stuff.

Storage: SSD. A solid state drive will make it way faster for the laptop to load and it's a huge performance boost.

Other stuff: Good battery helps when working in-between matches.

Hope that helps!
