Specs for Minimal levels of performance in FL Studio 20

Most software developers publish system requirements, but they can be difficult to interpret; they use technical jargon or sometimes refer to components which are no longer on the market.

Here are common specs for pre-built machines capable of handling FL Studio 20.

Sadly, there are also no predefined standards for performance; some developers have very high standards while others can be a bit optimistic so your mileage may vary.

Ready-to-Order Laptops Meeting these Specs prices range from $615.00 to $1077.00, accessories included.

The following Laptops meet the minimal system requirements set by FL Studio 20's developers. So it should run, but you might experience slowdowns when working with larger, heavier files.

Each product below was checked recently for rebates and availability from retailers located in Canada or which at least makes importing easy.
