I'm not going to venture into the Mac vs. PC debate, so I'll leave that to the community 😊
I did, however, want to share our system requirements for you to take a look at. Please note you will need a Windows OS to use some of the software, but this can be done on a Mac of course.
I have no preference for one over the other but I'd go for PC if you're planning on using Storyline. Purely because there isn't a native version of SL on Mac.
Hi @Katie Riggio, I am new to Articulate 360 (as of today!!) and I saw this post from 5 months ago. Is this still the case that I should use my PC to run storyline instead of Mac? My work has given me both options and the previous designer used a PC. Thanks :)
Hello Monique and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thanks for sharing what you are working with. You do need Windows to run the software as you can see in our system requirements here. So, you can use your PC if you prefer or one of the Mac solutions that Katie shared above.

You can't use Articulate on a Mac can you (without Paralells)?
Hi Simon!
You're right: Mac users can install Storyline, Studio, and Replay only with a virtual Window environment (i.e., Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Apple Boot Camp) at this time.
Let me know if there's anything else I can answer!
