Running Claude Computer Use on a second device boosted productive runs from 30 minutes to 3 hours
Tubular_Code · reddit · 2026-09-13
The author's key insight for Claude's "Enable Computer Use": run it on a dedicated second device with controlled access instead of your main machine. Via a shared Cowork project with cloud access, driven by Opus, average productive runs went from 15-30 minutes to 2-3 hours with no extra credit drain, plus better troubleshooting. It takes instruction tinkering and won't fit everyone, but is worth trying for those hesitant to hand Claude full control.
