Labster virtual lab simulations are accessible on Chromebooks that meet our minimum system requirements. To ensure compatibility, your Chromebook should support Chrome version 114 or newer. Labster simulations are also accessible on other devices such as Windows and macOS laptops or desktops, and iPads which require the official Labster app from the App Store.
Why Labster simulation may be glitchy on some Chromebooks?
Many low-end Chromebooks are equipped with hardware components that may not meet the minimum requirements for running resource-intensive applications like Labster simulations smoothly. Additionally, older versions of the Chrome browser may contribute to compatibility issues with Labster simulations. When Chromebooks cannot meet compatibility requirements, consider using alternative devices like iPads (with the official app) or compatible laptops and desktops that adhere to Labster’s minimum system requirements.
Due to their limited processing power, insufficient RAM, and basic graphics capabilities, these Chromebooks may struggle to handle the demanding computational tasks involved in running Labster simulations.
