Does Remote Desktop use a lot of resources?

Very little resources are used on the client side as well as the host. The RDP protocol uses bandwidth but not much, we run 20-30 per office off a 2Mbps MPLS without any issues (we also run a IAX trunk over the same pipe), QOS is enabled but on only to cut down on hiccups when users send large emails.

How much RAM do you need for Remote Desktop?

But what about RAM? There are two main options: 8GB & 16GB. If your work or studies are not processing-intensive (e.g. writing reports, coding/software developing), and you wouldn’t use your PC casually outside of shopping and social media, then an 8GB PC may be good enough.

Does Remote Desktop use local GPU?

Is 4GB enough to work from home?

As a general rule—try to get as much RAM as you can. Personally, I’d recommend getting at least 8GB. The operating system alone eats up a good chunk of the memory. (Windows, Android, iOS) So if you only have 4GB for example, in reality, you’ll be working only on 2GB.
