Best Laptop for Storyline360

Hi Camille,

I understand where Soren is coming from and there is no doubt that you get more bang for your buck with a desktop, but if you are prepared to invest those extra dollars, you can get a very capable laptop for running Storyline.

In addition to my laptop, I have a beefy desktop at home with a high-end processor, three screens, two graphics cards, SSD drives and plenty of memory and yet I still prefer to do most of my Articulate work on my laptop. Both machines are easily capable of doing what I need to do, but I like the small footprint and portability that my laptop provides.

When I do my simulation work, I run far more powerful and graphics-hungry software than Storyline and my laptop barely misses a beat. The main advantage with my desktop is that the simulation software accesses multiple screens. However, my laptop can run up to four screens if I need to, although I only ever use one.

I guess the main message from my point of view is that if you do want to get a laptop, make sure you budget accordingly and include:

a.  a high end processor (minimum Core i7 -- e.g. i7 8850U)

b.  a good graphics card (e.g. NVIDIA Quadro P1000)

c.  a minimum of 16GB RAM

d. a minimum of 512GB SSD

I should stress, this is purely my personal opinion and I would advise you to get as much advice from others as you can. You are about to invest several thousand dollars in computer hardware, for which it is well worth investing several hours in research to make sure you get it right.

Happy searching !! :) :)
