### Your MacBook Air (8 GB RAM)

- **Feasibility**: Theoretically, you can install and run Genymotion, but 8 GB RAM will result in:

- **Slow virtual machine startup** (because each device requires 1-2 GB RAM, with limited shared resources between system and host)

- **Easy lag or crashes during parallel testing of multiple devices**

- **Recommendation**: If you only need to occasionally test a single small app, it might just work; but if you plan to perform more frequent or parallel development/testing, we recommend upgrading to a model with **at least 16 GB RAM**.

#### Do you want to try running it on your current device?

If you decide to proceed, we can work together to check if we can optimize the experience by closing unnecessary background processes or using a lighter device image. 🌱
