Minimum system requirements

The TNM website and TNM mobile app operate on the newest stable software platforms. Our users who own new or newer (0-5 years old) computers and mobile phones have the best experience, because these devices are fast enough and powerful enough to run our software. Users with older equipment (5-10 years old) may see intermittent problems. For devices older than 10 years, many of the software features do not function at all.

In general, any computer or mobile device in a standard configuration manufactured within the past five years meets the minimum configuration.

Because there are too many computer and phones on the market to list here, we offer these general guidelines which are current as of October, 2023.

  • Windows or PC laptops and computers: Windows 10 or newer; 8GB of RAM; CPU Processor with a CPU Mark of 3,000 or greater (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php).
  • Apple Mac laptops and computers: Up to date on IOS. (We have seen 10-year-old Macs perform well with our software as long as the IOS and the browser are updated.)
  • Apple iPhones and iPads: Up to six years old is likely to work. Keep IOS and browser (Safari, for instance) updated.
  • Android devices, such as phones, Kindles, and Android-based tablets: Five years old or newer. Android devices do not get updates to their operating systems; however, it is advisable to keep the internet browser updated.


Is your computer equipment outdated? There is a sizable market available to people wanting to buy used, working computers. Two reputable online stores are gazelle.com and swappa.com. As always, do your due diligence before buying used equipment.
