Get the specs for whatever the developers are using.
Then ADD the requirements for your authoring tools.
Since you are documenting their projects, you will
need enough power to run their programs and yours
at the same time.

Subject: Hardware Requirements for a New Job
Hi Everyone,
I'm starting a new job very soon. My new employer has asked me for
specifications for a new computer. I haven't kept up with the latest
trends in processors and the like. Does anyone have a suggestion for
minimum requirements for a computer?
