What spec hardware makes PowerBI usable?

From Sys info: 

 

System Model HP EliteBook 840 G4

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2904 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB

 

And I'm wondering what sort of hardware people use, which makes PowerBI usable. Where it's able to do calculations in miutes, rather than hours, or retrieve data (from local files) at rates faster than 20kb / sec. 

Obviously there are so many factors that affect performance, but as a very basic compasrison I would love to know what other use.

@Netrelemo , I am using power with Intel Core i7 8th Gen. With 8 GB RAM.

 

Check how much memory Power bi is taking. Also, check is there too much memory taken by other processes. That can one reason. 

Increase virtual memory of the system : refer -https://windowsreport.com/memory-error-allocation-failure/

 

these can be more. But check and try these first
