Ideal RAM for Storyline on M1 Macs via Parallels
I’m in the process of choosing a new MacBook Pro configuration and wondering how much RAM would be required for Storyline use. I don’t mean the minimal requirements but an ideal amount of RAM.
If I allocate 8GB of RAM to Parallels on Mac, I believe the virtual machine/Windows by default uses up 2-3GB or RAM just to run, leaving 5GB of RAM for use by Windows applications. Would that be ideal for regular Storyline work?
Hello M J,
Thanks for reaching out!
Based on experience, the ideal system requirements for Storyline 360 is anything higher than the minimum requirements, but I understand that running Storyline 360 on Macs that use the M1 processor might leave to some unexpected behavior.
I went ahead and opened a support case on your behalf so we can have our support team take a look at the requirements and prepare some recommendations for you. While waiting for them to reach out, you can check out this article which contains a list of frequently asked questions regarding running Articulate 360 on Macs:
Thanks for raising my query. I look forward to the recommendations.
