Yes, VDL will work on laptops that meet or exceed the system requirements for VDL. Keep in mind that nearly everyone who uses VDL also runs in in conjunction with a notation program (Sibelius or Finale) or a DAW. So it's also important to note the system requirements for other software you intend to run simultaneously with VDL.

Laptops with SSD storage and at least 8GB memory will provide optimal performance.
