Best laptop specifications for storyline.

This thread is a bit dated Alec, but I appreciate you popping in to share :) 

Always worth starting a new forum discussion Curt sharing what you're looking at in terms of new laptops and see if you can get a bit more current community participation. 

Bump again for people looking. I think the biggest thing is decent CPU, Max Ram, and at least 500 GB SSD. Any other thoughts out there?

hello,  my PC laptop died, and I am looking to buy a new laptop.  I use Storyline 2 in conjunction with Adobe creative suite as well as Captivate.  Any help will be super.  Also,  I am looking ideally for a laptop with stylus but not necessary.  I do have a wacom tablet which I like.  Thanks again.

Hi,

I'm working on an game based quiz and getting erratic behavior from the Storyline 360. It is getting shutting down and hang on regularly basis. I'm using windows 10 PC.

I tried all possible ways to short this out also raised at support but did not get any permanent  solution for it, can anyone help me out in this.

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.

Hi Ulises,

I also use Windows 10, and haven't run into the same issues you've described, so I'd love to have our support team work with you more one on one to figure out what's causing so much trouble. Can you reach out to the team here? 

Devlin, Your article is specific and informative, I read it and am using your specs as a guide to purchase my new computer.  Thank you!

I’m glad to hear that the guide is helping! You’re welcome!

You should try MSI GL62M Thin and Light Performance Laptop. Runs smooth on heavy task and i'm using it from 2 years.
