About Android Studio
Android Studio itself is manageable, but the Android Emulator is what drives the requirements — running a hardware-accelerated virtual device needs virtualisation support enabled in the BIOS and a substantial amount of free memory.

Not sure how your parts compare? Run the check above or read what these tiers mean.
Can my laptop run Android Studio?
The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the Any named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
