What are the recommended computer specs for Navix?

For the best experience Navix recommends the latest Chrome or Edge browser, 16 GB of RAM, a modern quad-core CPU (Apple M1 or newer, or Intel Core i5 10th-gen or newer), an SSD, a 1080p display, and a 50+ Mbps internet connection. The minimum to run Navix is 8 GB of RAM, Windows 10 or macOS 12, and 25 Mbps internet.

Which browser should I use with Navix?

Use a Chromium-based browser kept fully up to date — Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are recommended and tested (Brave and other Chromium browsers also work). A current Chromium browser gives the most reliable experience for the AI scribe’s in-browser audio capture and Navix’s live AI features. Keep it on the latest version; restarting the browser applies pending updates.

Do I need a graphics card (GPU) to run Navix?

No. Navix is a browser-based web application, so a dedicated or gaming GPU provides no benefit. Integrated graphics (Apple M-series, Intel Iris, or AMD) with your browser’s hardware acceleration turned on is all that’s needed. If Navix is slow, add RAM or update your browser rather than buying a GPU.

Why does Navix run slowly on my computer?

The most common causes are an out-of-date browser, too little RAM (especially with many tabs or apps open), a slow or unstable internet connection, or browser hardware acceleration being turned off. Updating your browser, closing unused tabs, and ensuring 16 GB of RAM resolve the large majority of slowness.

What internet speed does Navix need?

A single clinician should have at least 25 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up; 50–100 Mbps is recommended. Facilities should plan for roughly 100 Mbps for 5–20 concurrent users and 200+ Mbps for larger teams or multiple simultaneous telehealth streams.

Which Mac should I buy for Navix?

Any Apple Silicon Mac (M-series, M1 or newer) runs Navix well — a MacBook Air with 16 GB of RAM is the sweet spot for most clinicians, and a Mac mini with 16 GB is a great low-cost desktop for front-desk and billing. The most important choice is memory: pick 16 GB at purchase, because Mac RAM is built in and can’t be upgraded later. You do not need a MacBook Pro or any dedicated graphics — Navix is a web app.

Does Navix work on a Mac and on Chromebooks?

Yes. Navix runs on macOS 12 Monterey or newer (Apple M-series Macs are excellent for it), on Windows 10/11, and on current ChromeOS devices — all through the latest Chrome or Edge browser.

Recommended specs for running Navix

Navix is a browser-based EMR, CRM, and AI platform — a lot of software running live in your browser. These are the specs that keep it fast. The short version: a fully updated Chromium browser, enough memory, and a solid connection matter far more than a fancy graphics card.

BrowserA fully updated Chromium browser (Chrome or Edge)
Memory16 GB RAM (8 GB minimum)
ProcessorA modern quad-core CPU (Apple M1+ / Intel i5 10th-gen+)
Internet50+ Mbps, wired or strong Wi-Fi

Use a fully up-to-date Chromium browser

Navix is built and tested for Chromium-based browsers — Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are the recommended choices (Brave and other Chromium browsers also work). Keep it updated to the latest version: Chromium browsers auto-update, but a quick restart applies pending updates. Chromium gives the most reliable experience for the AI scribe and live AI features.

Minimum & recommended specs

Component	Minimum (will run)	Recommended (best experience)
Web browser	A current Chromium-based browser — latest Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge	Fully up-to-date Chrome or Edge (Chromium), with hardware acceleration enabled
Operating system	Windows 10 (64-bit) · macOS 12 Monterey · current ChromeOS	Windows 11 · macOS 13 Ventura or newer · current ChromeOS
Processor (CPU)	Quad-core — Intel Core i5 (8th gen+), AMD Ryzen 5, or Apple M1	Apple M-series (M1 or newer), Intel Core i5/i7 (10th gen+), or Ryzen 5/7
Memory (RAM)	8 GB	16 GB
Graphics	Integrated graphics with hardware acceleration on — no dedicated GPU needed	Integrated graphics (Apple, Intel Iris, AMD) — a discrete/gaming GPU adds no benefit
Storage	SSD with a few GB free	SSD (not a spinning hard drive)
Display	1366 × 768	1920 × 1080 (Full HD) or higher; dual monitors for admissions/billing
Internet	25 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up, under ~100 ms latency	50–100 Mbps down / 10+ up, wired or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi
Microphone (AI scribe)	Any working built-in or USB microphone	External USB or conference mic for group sessions; headset for telehealth

Not supported: Internet Explorer · Windows 7 and Windows 8 · macOS 11 (Big Sur) and older · Outdated browser versions (more than a couple releases behind).

Why these specs

Navix runs in your browser

The EMR, CRM, dashboards, and 22+ AI agents all run as a live web application. That means your browser, memory, and processor do real work — an old browser or a machine low on RAM is the usual reason Navix feels slow.

You do NOT need a fancy graphics card

Because Navix is a web app, a discrete or “gaming” GPU makes no meaningful difference. What matters is RAM, a modern CPU, and having your browser’s hardware acceleration turned on (it usually is by default). Don’t buy a GPU to speed up Navix — add RAM or update your browser instead.

The AI scribe needs a little headroom

Recording 1:1 and group sessions in the browser uses CPU and memory while everything else keeps running. A modern quad-core CPU with 16 GB of RAM and a good microphone gives the cleanest, most accurate notes — especially for group sessions.

Buying a new computer? Recommended Macs

On a Mac, choose 16 GB of memory (RAM) when you buy — Apple Silicon memory is built in and can’t be added later. It’s the upgrade that matters most for Navix, and worth it over the base 8 GB.

Most clinicians (laptop)

MacBook Air (Apple Silicon)

16 GB RAM

The sweet spot — light, silent, all-day battery, and plenty fast for Navix.

Front desk, intake & billing (desktop)

Mac mini (Apple Silicon)

16 GB RAM

Apple’s most affordable Mac. Pair it with any monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Power users & heavy multitaskers

MacBook Pro 14” (M-series Pro)

16–24 GB RAM

For clinicians who keep many tabs, dashboards, and telehealth open at once.

Multi-monitor admin workstations

iMac or Mac Studio

16 GB+ RAM

Large screen(s) for admissions and revenue-cycle teams.

Choose Apple Silicon (an M-series chip — M1 or newer). Any Apple Silicon Mac runs Navix beautifully.
Avoid older Intel-based Macs — they’re nearing the end of macOS and browser support.
256 GB of storage is fine since Navix lives in the cloud; 512 GB adds comfortable headroom.

Prefer Windows or a Chromebook?

Windows laptop

Business laptop — Dell Latitude/XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP

16 GB RAM, SSD

Windows 11, recent Intel Core Ultra / Core i5 (12th gen+) or AMD Ryzen 5.

Chromebook

Recent business/Plus Chromebook

8 GB RAM (16 GB better)

Runs current ChromeOS + Chrome; great low-cost option for lighter use.

Models refresh every year — the guidance that stays constant: Apple Silicon (or a current Windows 11 / ChromeOS machine), 16 GB of RAM, and an SSD. Navix doesn’t benefit from a dedicated graphics card.

Is your computer ready?

1
Check your browser
Open Chrome or Edge and confirm it’s up to date (Chrome: menu → Help → About Google Chrome). Updating is the single most common fix.
2
Check your RAM
Windows: Task Manager → Performance → Memory. Mac: → About This Mac. If you’re at 8 GB and Navix feels heavy with other apps open, 16 GB is the upgrade that helps most.
3
Turn on hardware acceleration
In Chrome: Settings → System → “Use graphics acceleration when available.” In Edge: Settings → System and performance. Restart the browser after enabling.
4
Test your internet
Run a speed test on the same network and device you use Navix on. Aim for 50+ Mbps down and 10+ up, with low latency. A wired connection beats Wi-Fi for reliability.

Running slow? Try these first

Update your browser to the latest version, then restart it.
Close tabs and apps you aren’t using — each open tab consumes memory.
Use a wired connection, or move closer to the router / use 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
Restart your computer if it’s been running for days.
Keep hardware acceleration enabled in your browser settings.

For IT & facility administrators

For multi-clinician facilities, plan bandwidth for everyone working at once and make sure Navix isn’t blocked by your firewall or web filter.

Bandwidth by team size

1–5 concurrent users25–50 Mbps
5–20 concurrent users100 Mbps
20+ users / multiple telehealth streams200+ Mbps, business-class

Allowlist these domains

navixhealth.com
app.navix.ai
navix.ai

Allow microphone access in the browser for clinicians using the AI scribe.
If you use a web content filter or proxy, allowlist the domains above (and their subdomains) so the app and AI features load.
Wired ethernet at clinician workstations is more reliable than Wi-Fi for charting and telehealth.
