Issues with Power BI on a Samsung laptop

[donnie17]

Hi everyone, 

I’m using a Galaxy Book2 Go and I’m having problems with Power BI. The application opens slowly, which doesn’t happen with other Microsoft applications, and the data loading and visualization loading phases are also slow. I would say that it is generally slow on my PC. Could it be that my computer is not suitable to run Power BI smoothly?

Here are my laptop's specs

Processor: Snapdragon™ 7cPlus Gen 3 @ 2.40 GHz 2.40 GHz
Installed RAM: 4.00 GB (3.43 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor
Windows edition: Windows 11 Home

What should I do?

Thanks everyone for their attention.

The Galaxy Book2 Go's specs, particularly the ARM-based Snapdragon processor and 4GB of RAM, may not be ideal for Power BI, which typically requires more processing power and RAM for smooth operation. You could try optimizing Power BI by reducing the size of data models, closing background apps, or switching to Power BI’s web version, which is less resource-intensive. If possible, upgrading to a device with higher specs might provide a better experience.

It looks like you are meeting the minimum requirements to install and run, but Power BI utilize the highest percentage of my CPU and memory when I am using it so I would imagine different specs would improve your experience. My laptops have no issues with Power BI, but I have more RAM.
