Hi Everyone,
Our firm is looking to upgrade our hardware systems and one of the requirements is to select parts that is best suited for analytics & modelling performance including Modano (Excel) and PowerBI.
If I had a fixed budget per system, what is the best/preferred specifications for Modano if I had to chose between say:
- Higher CPU speed (GHz)
- Higher CPU cores (8 vs 16) or
- Higher RAM
TIA

Hi Khang,
There's some good discussion around hardware in this older post, which remains relevant: www.modano.com/forum/laptop_recommendations_september_2021
From our experience most modern laptops will be more than powerful enough to run Modano unless you're building absolutely enormous models, which is something we generally avoid as Excel shouldn't be used to replace database programs!
At Modano we've been exclusively using HP EliteBooks for the past few years and had very few issues. They're also great value, costing less than AUD$2,500 even with the Intel Core i7 chip and 16GB of RAM. Here's my specs:
Hope this helps.
