Even newer computers that meet these specifications could be problematic if they are full of bloatware or viruses. It is difficult sometimes to realize your computer is running slower than it should. Especially if you haven't ever experienced anything faster.  The best way to tell on a PC is to look at Task Manager to see how much RAM and processor speed are being used.  Anything below 50% is good.  Start closing programs and browser tabs to free up more RAM and processor speed.  If you close all the programs you can see, you might have to start stopping processes. However, many of these processes are critical to your PC, so if you are unsure of what to close, it might be time to call in an expert to clean up your PC. Or just reboot your PC, since this will automatically clear up memory and processing power.

Mac Specifications/Requirements

Any Macintosh MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, or Mac Pro with OS 11 - MacOS 26 will work with Eddie! If you are using a new MacBook or MacMini, it may not have a standard USB port.  Instead, it will have a smaller USB-C port.  You will need a simple adapter to connect the included USB cable to your Mac.  You will need a USB-C to USB-A adapter similar to the one linked here.
