I am currently enrolled in an LDT masters program and I wanted to start learning to use Articulate 360. However, what I am learning is that my early 2011 mac book is probably not an efficient machine to do so on. Therefore, I am ready to update to a newer computer in order to use Articulate 360 more efficiently. I wanted to survey the masses for advice on what the best computer is or specifications of the best computer in order to use Articulate 360.
Although, I have always used apple products I am open to purchasing a windows machine.
I have a HP Elitebook 850 G3 - it has an i7-6600 CPU @ 2.6GHz (a fast processor in non-geek terms). It has a 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. (lots of short term memory, and fast access to long term storage) The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did was a high powered video processor. However, it is leaps and bounds better than the generic laptops that my coworkers have.
If you are interested, you can go to https://www.reddit.com/r/buildmeapc/ and post what you plan on using the system for, and they will provide you with a shopping list of parts to build a computer that meets your needs.

Hi Andee and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Great question! You originally posted your question in Articulate Online and I moved the discussion over for you to our Building Better Courses forum.
You may get a better response here on what others are utilizing.
I did want to share our system requirements as well as information about utilizing a Mac here (just in case). Those should be helpful as well.
