I would like to know if my laptop suitable for Android Studio(because i faced some problems with it)
My laptop has Intel core i3 # CPU M 380 2.53 GHz
and 2 GB ram with windows 32-bit
Android studio version 2.x requirements for windows
OS version : Windows 7 or later
RAM : 3 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended; plus 1 GB for the Android Emulator
Disk space : 500 MB disk space for Android Studio, at least 1.5 GB for Android SDK, emulator system images, and caches
Java version : Java Development Kit (JDK) 8
Screen resolution : 1280x800 minimum screen resolution
As per the above requirements your laptop has low ram (ans:as per this reason your laptop is not suitable for latest version 2.x), so you have to upgrade new ram or as per my personal opinion you have to buy new laptop which is fulfill the above requirements

This is my PC's specification:

How do I increase processor speed to run Android Studio and the Android Emulator faster?
I have a solution for this but this might cost you a little bit in order to run your Android Studio faster than before.
The solution is
You have to get yourself an SSD
Upgrade your RAM to 8GB min
Upgrade these two components. You won't get this kind of issue again.
I have ubuntu20.04LTS installed on my desktop
Android Studio version 4.1.3
Intel Pentium G645 # 2.90 Ghz dual core
6 GB of RAM
1.5GB of swap
I am learning android but my projects are not that heavy but then too my pc hangs even if I open android studio alone it just starts consuming RAM and swap memory slowly
What can I do to fix this problem please help.
Edit custom VM Options
Add or change the value of -Xmx. Units are MB (specified as m) or GB (specified as g). Here I tell it to only use 2 GB RAM:
-Xmx2g
JetBrains totally reworked the user interface recently, in fact the UI is quite fluid between major releases. Android Studio is based on the same core as IntelliJ IDEA, and for the current version you would clock on the settings icon at the lower left of the signon screen, then you will see VM settings.
Really trying to not create a duplicate.
I've read the closest SO on this and it is quite old:
Android Studio and Ryzen CPU?
It's time to upgrade my hardware since my i7, 8GB RAM laptop can no longer run Android Studio and the emulator at the same time (major memory issues). Unfortunately, my laptop can only go to 8GB.
I am definitely considering a Ryzen 5 or 7 since I can save so much $$$ (compared to similar Intel choices).
On Ryzen, can I run the normal HAXM emulator? The one I'm used to running on my i7? Or do I have to run something different?
Does anyone have comparison stats? My i7 starts the emulator just about instantly on my i7. But I can no longer run the emulator and android Studio (AS) at the same time (due to RAM being eaten up by AS and associated Java runtimes).
Is running on the Ryzen not solid? Am I going to see a lot of crashes? Is it going to be so slow it drives me crazy? If not I'd rather pay the extra for the Intel chip?
Hope someone out there is an Android dev and has experience to share.
Win10 Version?
Also, I just read the requirements for Hyper-V. I'm running Windows Home edition. Do I need Windows Pro or Enterprise to run with Ryzen 5/7? Will I be required to use Hyper-V?
The following is from : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v
Windows 10 Enterprise, Pro, or Education
64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-c on Intel CPUs).
Minimum of 4 GB memory.
The Hyper-V role cannot be installed on Windows 10 Home.
I found the following information from July 09, 2018 (a while ago and AS 3.2 was out) that seems to indicate that :
1. Android emulator is supported and will run with AMD Ryzen chips
2. You will need to turn on Windows HyperVisor Platform (which should be available via Windows 10 Home)
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/android-emulator-amd-processor-hyper-v.html
It also states (my emphasis shown where I am confused -- not sure what Hyper-V running at same time gives me) :
If you want to use Hyper-V at the same time as the Android Emulator
on your Intel processor-based computer, you will also need the same
Android Studio and Android Emulator versions as listed above, but with
the additional requirements:
Enable via Windows Features: "Hyper-V" - Only available for Windows 10 Professional/Education/Enterprise
Intel Processor : Intel® Core™ processor that supports Virtualization Technology (VT-x), Extended Page Tables (EPT), and
Unrestricted Guest (UG) features. Additionally VT-x needs to be
enabled in the BIOS.
More Info - Definitive Answer
My son has a machine with Gigabyte m/b and a Ryzen 5 2600x and we installed Android Studio 3.5 and made the appropriate changes tonight.
The board / CPU supports SVM (virtualization technology) so we made
that change in the BIOS.
Next we turned on the Win10 setting for Windows HyperVisor Platform.
We downloaded an x86 Oreo image via Android Studio / AVD Manager and ran it and it runs very fast and smoothly on that machine (16GB RAM).
We didn't see any problems. Loaded up a basic template app and deployed it to the Android VM and it ran great. It all looks good to me. Support for Ryzen seems to be just fine. I will be buying a board and Ryzen just like his.
Update - 2020-03-23
I did purchase the Gigabyte mainboard and the Ryzen 5 2600x and I've been running it for over 6 months now and running current versions of Android Studio (keeping it updated) during that time.
I have 16GB RAM and the CPU can run Android Studio and at least two emulators running at the same time with no problems at all.
Ubuntu Linux / Windows 10 Home Edition Dual Boot
I dual boot my machine running Ubuntu and Win10. I run Ubuntu 90% of the time because Android Studio runs so smoothly on it, but I also boot in to Win10 and Android Studio runs fine there too. (Home edition works fine.)
This confirms that the AMD processors work completely fine running the Android emulators.
I really want to run the latest version of Android Studio, but i have only 2GB of RAM. Can I run it properly, including SDK?
As you can see in the Android Developers main page, in the System Requirements section:
3 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended; plus 1 GB for the Android
Emulator
