You can use SketchUp for Web on most internet-connected computers via a recommended browser (Chrome 59+ or Firefox 52+).
To use SketchUp for Web on a Chromebook, your Chromebook needs to meet the minimum specifications. However, the minimum requirements don't offer the best experience using SketchUp for Web on a Chromebook. Ideally, your Chromebook meets the following recommended specifications.
| Minimum Specifications | Recommended Specifications |
|---|---|
| 2.1+ GHz Intel processor | 2.8+ GHz Intel processor |
| 4GB RAM | 8GB+ RAM |
| 700MB of available hard-disk space | At least 1GB of available hard-disk space |
| Intel HD integrated graphics card with at least 512MB video memory | Discrete Graphics card such as AMD Radeon R9 M37X 2048 MB |
We recommend choosing the largest available offering of RAM for any listed Chromebook. 4GB is strongly preferable to 2GB.
