Mac vs PC for Storyline?
Assuming a Mac meets / exceeds HW requirements, and has the virtual environment set up correctly, is authoring in Storyline on a Mac problematic in anyway when handing off the final product to SMEs / clients?
Put another way, is running SL on a PC decisively better than on a Mac?
Thank you in advance.

I run Storyline360 on an Azure Virtual Machine using the Windows App and I have no issues. I have an M2 chip.
Hi BH13,
Thanks for reaching out! I understand you'd like insights on whether Storyline runs better on a PC than on a Mac.
I had the privilege of using Storyline on a PC and an M1-powered Mac. I didn't notice any significant differences, though individual user experiences may vary slightly from person to person. I did not encounter any issues when publishing Storyline courses on a Mac, so there should be no problem handing off the final product to SMEs or clients.
I agree with Phil that a Mac laptop running an M-series chip may be slower as it has limitations compared to those running Intel processors.
I'd be happy to open the floor to other community members who may also have something to share about using Storyline on a Mac compared to a PC.

In intel machine it is as good as a PC. ON M series It is slower on a Mac it is much better than it has been but still sluggish
