Specs for Recommended levels of performance in Adobe Animate CC
Most software developers publish system requirements, and while they're accurate, they can be difficult to interpret; not everyone's comfortable with the jargon employed and older components are often referred to long after they've left the market.
Here are current specs for pre-built machines capable of handling Adobe Animate CC.
| for Recommended performances | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Components | Minimum | Typical | |
| Processor (a.k.a. CPU) |
Intel Core i3-10100 or better
Intel Core i5-1135G7 |
Intel Core i5-9400
Intel Core i5-10400 |

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 Systems Meeting these Specs Prices range from ∼ US$720 to US$1020, accessories included.
The following Systems meet the system requirements set by Adobe Animate CC's developers. There are no performance standards defining how well a recommended system should perform (some developers overestimate them, others can be a bit optimistic), but I would expect those systems to handle anything easily but the most painstakingly complex tasks.
Each product below was checked recently for rebates and availability from retailers located in Canada or which at least makes importing easy.

Wonder why you get better systems than requested?
That's because TekAdvisor looks for devices which will at least satisfy the demands for the best price without filtering over-performers. For instance: If 3-stars or even 5-stars systems are available in the same price range as 1-star options, I'm pretty sure you should consider the better-performing options as well.
The results above are the 9 systems offering the best bang-for-the-buck among the cheapest catalogued systems capable of running Adobe Animate CC at the specified level of performance or better.
