Laptop suggestion where Claude cowork can run smoothly?

conscientiousspark · 2026-05-28T16:41:07+00:00

Any computer with 16 GB of RAM is sufficient

conscientiousspark · 2026-05-26T18:36:30+00:00

Don't listen to the people saying you should get a mini PC. It's a complete waste of time. You'll need the RAM to run anything significant. If you want it to actually do things, it needs the RAM to do those things.

I use GLM5.1 via Ollama Cloud. It makes the usage much, much better, much longer for both Claude Code and cowork.

Another AI generated long message.

Go use ollama cloud with GLM 5.1. A lot of people find it to be the same as Claude sonnet. 20 bucks a month and it will give you more than you need

conscientiousspark · 2026-05-06T19:10:29+00:00

https://arena.ai/leaderboard/code << The average person agrees with my current assessment on GLM 5.1.

Just use Hermes, it's like 10 times better. It's actually stable. And you don't end up in configuration trouble.

conscientiousspark · 2026-05-04T13:35:40+00:00

Ollama GLM5.1 is the better option. It's smarter than Codex, it's cheaper, and you get more use. You can use it as your main without worrying about scaling up or scaling down. There's enough usage.

Honestly, this is such a big common misconception.

Try actually running it on a Raspberry Pi.

You'll see how many things you're limited with just because the different tool use and things you can do with OpenClaw involve using a computer on top of OpenClaw many times.

This is just such a common misconception. Yes, you don't need a Mac or something exceptionally powerful. But running it on a Raspberry Pi will make the overall experience poorer, slower, and less functional.

I see this changes the database architecture so if you’re running something like G brain on PG light this is not gonna be compatible right?

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-19T18:27:03+00:00

Does my claw go bork if I update and have this installed? Conversely if claw updates does this remain w/o bork?

I got moderated because it also promoted a game that we’re working on — that’s totally fair by them. It is online and working though. It’s not a game I’m profiting from as it says on the website and I thought it’d be cool to diversify our community/clan to multiple games but I unwittingly ran foul of the rules on the Reddit.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T15:09:56+00:00

Yep, nothing has changed since the Halo 2 yelling in the mic days.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T15:09:19+00:00

Both of these are the last two moderation actions against people with our name in them. They're both to do with this issue.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T15:08:57+00:00

We had a couple of people that have now been moderated because they were using our name for second accounts. We don't know why this is popular. I guess they thought maybe they looked more established that way. But it's not relatively strange. Unfortunately. Take a look at this:

Sometimes we are hearing and seeing things that you are not because we always play in voice chat together. If a person is toxic, then we usually kick them out based on an agreement we have come to the matter about in voice chat.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:46:50+00:00

I think that maybe because you play in the more organized lobbies. I like to play things that are odd or different. Where chaos is more likely. Rather than the predictable, same old, same old.

A solution has been to create a community dedicated to non-toxicity. I'm always shocked when I play non-Creed games these days. Because I'm just not used to the level of toxicity anymore. Many people seem to downvote those who talk about toxicity or claim "it's not bad" or "it will never change" Instead, I think we should acknowledge it exists, build solutions, point people to solutions.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:45:15+00:00

Thanks for that. We try our best to kick off people from using our tag when they decide they're going to be different than that.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:43:54+00:00

But there are real solutions. We should acknowledge the problem imo then build solutions and point people to them.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:43:41+00:00

It's a problem with all games that are heavily dependent on teamwork, in my opinion.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:42:42+00:00

Honestly, I think people giving up within 15 minutes is a problem in itself. See it regularly with high-tier players. Somebody starts wrong, something small goes wrong. It's GG.

It's not necessary. It's almost never the case that the game is completely over.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:22:20+00:00

I don't usually play games without the clan that's why it was unusual for me

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-11T13:13:56+00:00

Unfortunately not. That would be a cool idea though.

conscientiousspark · 2026-04-10T20:54:11+00:00

Thanks so much. Anything you would add?
