I upgraded this laptop to 16gb from 8gb as at the time was having speed issues using AGK and this made a huge difference to performance which was way better. I use integrated Intel UHD graphics and really it's not that bad . So I suppose as with all similar languages the better the computer and graphics card the better the experiences possible.
HP 15s i3 1.2 upto 3.4 ghz 128 gb ssd 16 gb ram 15.6 inch screen. Windows 11 home edition .  2Tb external hard drive dedicated to Linux Mint .
  PureBasic 6 and AppGameKit studio
ASUS Vivo book 15 16gb ram 256gb storage  cpu upto 4.1 ghz
HP Desktop AMD 3700 16GB ram 2 GB graphics card windows 10

Actually, it's not all that bad developing on an under-spec'd machine. I do it all the time even though I have a monster gaming rig. I figure if I can get it running smooth on a below average PC then it'll be just fine on average pc's and what not once I have finished. However that all depends on what your making, if your doing nex-gen gfx then the above don't apply ;(

AGK is a perfect product, but the marketing around it is tragic. I can't understand how someone can put so much work into a product and then find it difficult to communicate with fans or put one post on Facebook? Or start an Instagram, a blog...

I also feel like they took too big a bite with AGK Studio. That still falls short of AGK Classic in my opinion. Plus it's completely unnecessary. AGK Classic could do with improvements, e.g. for working with apps. The GUI and other things are missing. AGK Studio is basically a duplicate product.

I hope TGC's development holds up as long as possible!
