JUST SOME THOUGHTS:
The biggest problem seems to be with the Video/graphics that is used in the computer. You need to do a little searching to make sure you have a good-to-go video card since I have seen a couple hiccups reported in this forum regarding vid problems.
Of course USB 3 is a must to get best performance.
I’d recommend getting a computer with SSD (Solid State (hard) Drive). Or retrofitting one. Makes a lot of difference in performance in general.
2 core is fine, 4 core probably give a slight boost in throughput. 48 core is a waist. 😉
