Specs for Minimal levels of performance in PikuNiku

Most software developers publish system requirements, and while they're accurate, they can be difficult to interpret; not everyone's comfortable with the jargon employed and older components are often referred to long after they've left the market.

Here are current specs for pre-built machines capable of handling PikuNiku.

	for Minimal performances
Components	Minimum	Typical
Processor (a.k.a. CPU)	Intel Core i3-1005G1 or better AMD Ryzen 5 3500U	Intel Core i5-1035G1 Intel Core i3-10100	Alternative CPU Options
Video Card (a.k.a. GPU	not needed AMD Radeon Vega 8 Mobile	not needed	Alternative GPU Options
Memory (a.k.a. RAM)	4 GB or better	8 GB

Sadly, there are also no predefined standards for performance; some developers have very high standards while others can be a bit optimistic so your mileage may vary.

Ready-to-Order Systems Meeting these Specs Prices range from ∼ US$520 to US$890, accessories included.

The following Systems meet the minimal system requirements set by PikuNiku's developers. So it should run the game, but you might need to lower visual quality for an enjoyable experience.

Each product below was checked recently for rebates and availability from retailers located in Canada or which at least makes importing easy.
