I just purchased the x-carve (parts still coming in). Can someone tell me what size computer I need? IE; storage size / RAM / Speed / etc. I’m not a computer guy so this question may not be worded right, but I think someone on this forum will understand what I asking. Thanks in advance for any replies that would help. Marshall ---

Did you also purchase any of the Vectric design software? If so check their requirements. That would likely be the most demanding of your system. For the Easel software/program you will need internet connection. ---

For Easel I use an 11year old, plain, Macbook.
