Resolved: How powerful a system do you need to run this?
I have a relatively older computer - to run the excercises in this course, what are the minimum system requirements?

Hi, Timothy Chan,
Thanks for reaching out! To run the exercises in our course, you typically need a computer with the following minimum system requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 10, macOS, or a recent Linux distribution.
- Processor: Dual-core CPU with a clock speed of at least 2.0 GHz.
- RAM: At least 4 GB (8 GB is recommended for better performance).
- Storage: Minimum of 10 GB of free disk space (more if you plan to install additional software).
- Graphics: Integrated graphics should be sufficient for most data science tasks, but a dedicated GPU can improve performance for certain activities like deep learning.
If your computer meets these specifications, you should be able to run the exercises without issue. If you're using older hardware, you might encounter slower performance, but many exercises can still be completed.
If you have more specific information about your computer's specifications, feel free to share, and I can provide further guidance!
Best of luck with your studies!

You could also do on Google colab
I did not realize exactly how Jupyter notebooks worked. Anaconda has EDU Starter Tier plan for free as well. So that gives me a couple of different options. Thanks, Abdul for pointing me in that direction.

Welcome. Yes setuping anaconda is bit tedious. So mostly i use colab.
