I'm in Claude desktop asking about OpenClaw and the best configuration for a windows user, after going back and forth a couple times i get this reply: "That's after my knowledge cutoff, so I had nothing on it". I ask when is your most recent knowledge cutoff? Reply "End of May 2025 — so OpenClaw/Clawdbot is about 6 months outside my window". I aksed in Perplexity and got "Why you can skip it
- OpenClaw works on Windows and Linux just fine; no Apple‑only requirements.
- For cloud‑model workflows, any always‑on box with 2–4 cores and 8–16 GB RAM is fine.
- You’d also be adding a whole new ecosystem (macOS) when you’re currently Windows/Android." etc, etc. Claude is great, I'm not bashing it here - just remember all LLM's have their pros and cons.
