Optimizing RStudio Workflows on an AI Powered Laptop

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to an ai powered laptop to speed up my data analysis and Shiny app development, and the difference has been incredible. Everything from large dplyr pipelines to ggplot2 visualizations now runs much faster.

I wanted to start a discussion about best practices for leveraging high-performance machines in the Posit ecosystem:

  1. How do you optimize RStudio projects for speed without breaking reproducibility?
  2. Any tips for managing multiple environments with renv on a high-powered laptop?
  3. For Shiny apps, are there ways to reduce latency when deploying from such a system?

I’ve noticed that well-documented workflows not only help me but also make it easier for moderators and community members to provide feedback. Would love to hear how others are combining modern hardware with Posit tools!
