Best laptop specifications for storyline.
Hello. My two cents. I am having a very hard time with my configuration. I have one of those Dual purpose laptops, that it's supposed to work with the mouse and also touch screen. It is neither. In a production environment that setup (in my experience) is less than optimal. The mouse is not responsive; I have to click a few times to access things, then the three or four clicks occurred in a delayed manner. For a man like me, who has been clicking for over 32 years, that's not a good thing.
I am using Windows 10, which has its own challenges, but with SL, seems like the interfaces are competing with each other. I get freezes, lots of things going on in the background.
I'd recommend not to get a laptop that has touch screen functions. Also, regardless of the hardware, Windows 10 (and Articulate, every once in a while) pose challenges with the interface, and the hardware portion helps, but it's not directly related.
There are a few Windows settings (there's a support page for that in this website) that Articulate recommends to prevent or fix some SL erratic behavior. I'd recommend to make sure those Windows settings are in agreement with SL. They make a difference.
I started having a lot of interface problems with Articulate 360 after some updates, with Windows 10, and when I obtained a 2-in-1 design laptop Those laptops are more like half-of-each design. Never before have I experienced so many interface issues before those two things.
