Perplexity brings Portable Computer to Windows

Perplexity brought Portable Computer to Windows, but the local agent requires an Nvidia GeForce RTX or RTX PRO GPU with at least 24GB of VRAM, The New Stack reports. The Windows version runs its model, orchestration, browser, tool calling, and scheduled tasks on the PC, while cloud escalation remains optional and local tasks do not consume Computer credits. Builders should treat this as a new local execution boundary, not an air gap: the hardware floor and remote connectors make GPU availability and permission review the deployment gate, extending Nvidia’s local-inference routing analysis.
