What is your tolerance for sluggish performance? The lap top I use RW on has the following stats:

Intel Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz
Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.70 GB usable)
64-bit OS, x64 based processor
Windows 10 Pro

Even with nothing else running, RW is one of the slowest programs I have in terms to start-up times. Once I'm in my Realm, it is fine. Not crisp, instant gratification, but I can have lots of tabs open and move around quickly enough. But the start up time has lead me to jotting down ideas in Evernote for later inclusion in RW if I'm at work and get a bit of inspiration I want to remember, I don't have time to fire up RW to create a quick plot idea topic.

I think if you intend to use it where you sit down to work on your game for an hour or so, a slower machine won't be too much of an issue. But if you are hoping to make little edits and editions throughout the day, you'll find the start up time annoying, unless you just keep it open.
