Laptop Specs for Storyline
Hello! I am looking to buy a new laptop - mine is close to 3 years old. What are the minimum specs you would recommend? I’m looking to stay with a PC. Also, I’ll most likely allow my kids to play ga...
As far as I'm aware Storyline is still a single-core, single-threaded application so CPU is mostly irrelevant. You could make a case for a decent dedicated GPU (to handle any possible inApp video-encoding more effectively), but again, no real need to go overboard.
So a fast Solid State (or better still - nVme) drive and lots of RAM (16 should be fine) should be more important in your scenario.
If possible spend some time to researching this topic, as a lot would depend on your budget. Right now, AMD seems to be the king of productivity so you can't go wrong with a 3000 series Zen2 CPU (a 3500, 3500X, 3600 or 3600X represent a VFM proposal right now).
Hope this helps,
Alex
Hello. I'm a Mac user and want to get a PC for using Storyline. I was looking at a laptop with these specs and am not sure what the GHz numbers mean. I see that Storyline's minimum is 2GHz. Will this work? Is 24GB memory excessive?
