Do i need a better performing computer?

Hi All,

 

I am new to Adobe Illustrator and i am having issues with lag when running a 30MB file. 

I have the latest version of AI v27.1.1

I have gone through the article that suggests system settings for performacne improvement - no luck.

 

My comptuere is old and i suspect that is the issue: Specs below:

Processor Intel 5Y70 CPU 1.1GHz 1.3 Ghz

RAM 8GB

GPU Intel HD Graphics 5300

Win 10 64bit

 

What is letting me down? I know that the minimum RAM or AI is 8BG, but 16GB is recommended. Is that the only thing that is letting me down? What about my Processor and GPU?

 

Cheers,

Mate

You've listed very low-end specs for the CPU too. Is it a Lenovo Yoga 3? It may just not be suitable for Illustrator.

8 GB of RAM surely is a bottleneck. It's the very low end of hardware that can even launch Illustrator.
