Best laptop specifications for storyline.

Hello! If anyone is still looking for info on laptop specs for eLearning development, I've put together a detailed article that may serve as a buying guide of sorts: https://www.devlinpeck.com/posts/best-laptops-instructional-design 

I appreciate Alec's input too since I am in the market for a new powerhouse laptop to handle Storyline development. Since this thread is dated, perhaps a "refresh" is in order. I'm sure there are many IDs who are in the market for new hardware to run their new Storyline 2 & 360 software.

Hi Amr,

Sorry, I don't have any useful input in terms of laptop specs, however I think you made need to consider the other programs you use for content development as well as Storyline. For example, do you need photoshop/illustrator etc, audio editing software, other rapid development programs that compliment Storyline...... and do you need them running at the same time? This will affect the specs necessary for optimum laptop performance. 

Hi, Amr,

Here are our tech specs for Storyline:

I hope that helps!

Thanks Harri for clarifying,

Thanks Brandy for the link, nice to find friends when you really need them.

Hi Amr, 

If you need to be able to edit in Storyline as well as other development applications such as Photoshop, I would recommend looking at:

RAM: 8gb

Hard Disk: 500gb

Processor: Dual Core 2.4 ghz or better

Graphics: Integrated graphics is fine, no real need for dedicated graphics memory but it would be more future-proof that way.

Storyline currently only uses 2gb of your system RAM max, but personally I wouldn't buy a new laptop with spec lower than stated above. 

Just my opinions. 

Best,

Rich

Thanks Rich ,

Two days ago i bought MSI GT 70 , It is one of the highest spec. http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-0NC.html

It is not a famous company but it gives 2 years guarantee, and this is suitable for its price.

Thanks Rich for your advice

Hi Brendan,

I'm not sure that Amr is still subscribed to this thread, as it's a bit older - but I hope that if anyone else is also using that type of system they're able to chime in here! 

Thanks Ashley, I suspect as much, but thought it worth a shot!
