Best Laptop for Storyline360
Hello everyone!
I would like to get some advice on which laptop to use for Storyline360? My current laptop is too overloaded when using the software. It is painfully slow when creating courses. I ...
There are no "best laptop" for storyline as far as my experience go. Merely "Least worst" :) After using this tool for 6 years, I use a desktop pc with a high performing desktop processor. Storyline is not a very optimized piece of software, and it uses 32 bit, just one core, but it runs quite stable. So I found that I was doing best on a custom built desktop pc with a high single cpu frequency and a fast SSD. Not sure how big an impact your gpu has, but I suspect some.
Core i7 6700K, 16 GB memory, SATA3 speed SSD, GeForce 1060.
Even the newest laptops I have tried from Lenovo, HP, Dell, starts wheezing and perform sluggishly when using Storyline for projects with many shapes and pictures on screen at the same time.
So I use a desktop pc. And for those days where I am on a small laptop, I tend to remote desktop into my workstation.
- Thank you for this! Would you say the "most worst" is mac?
It's very hard for me to upload my rise courses to my online portfolio with my MacBook air. Additionally, all the tutorials I watch use PCs.
Should I bite the bullet and buy one?
Best,
Blossom
