A year ago I purchased what I thought to be a quick laptop. A Lenovo Win11 Ideapad Intel Evo i7 - 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H 2.30 GHz (I had waited until the 12 Gen chipset was generally shipping before purchasing) - 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable). Windows 11 Home version 23H2 - Build 22631.3447.
And this is where the wheels of my thinking may have gone sideways. I recognized that the clock speed was less than spectacular, but, it was my understanding that intel/Lenovo more than compensated for the slower speed vis a vie the advanced chipset, cores and that the chipset's slower speed was an energy saving mechanism.
Now forward to today and making a too long story short - I'm finding that QuickBooks is now saying in conjunction with their 2022-23 update, the minimum clock speed is 2.4 GHz. And to emphasize, the laptop will no longer load QB.
Would someone please explain if I was totally off base or if QB is strictly basing their minimum hardware on clock speed?
