Can I run Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop comfortably on this computer?

You can certainly run Photoshop, but I can't tell you about Illustrator since I've never used it.

Hi, Mark. Your reply is very helpful to me. I'll looking at getting a small notebook in the future and was hoping to be able to handle some graphics and web editing without too much of a slow down. I'm glad to know you're happy running Illustrator on the NC10. How is the graphics card with an external monitor? Is the 2nd monitor limited to 1024x600, or can it handle higher res on the external?Thanks!

It was for sure... Some years ago, but you have to understand that the Intel Core 2 Duo is a bit old for Today standard CPU. And for Graphic Design software, 1GB RAM will be not enough. Photoshop and software alike, commonly require at least 4GB RAM (and more is better) in the machine to run smoothly. I would recommend the newest Mac mini above this old iMac.

You're gpu would be the main facter in performence, but you should be fine. I run Windows 8 and there are no problems for me

Yes you should be able, depending on your processor and amount of RAM available

Manga studio runs fine. Duno about Photoshop Elements (probably will run fine) but the certainly full Photoshop will not or it will struggle.

Whould this laptop be a good choice for useing Softplan house drawing software? Also for editing and storeing videos and pictures and web searching?

No. Only Mac Pro is this possible. If you use graphics program such as Adobe Illustrator or Autodesk Maya, or playing games, 4 GB of RAM will not cut it. You need 8 GB or more for this purpose. The kind of work I do on those programs is so extensive that I often run close to 8 GB in use on one project.

This works just fine, it just depends what apps you use. I'm running the whole Adobe Suite CS6 just fine while doing multiple things without missing a beat.

Sorry not exactly sure what are the requirements for photoshop software you will be using, certainly this is an i7 4Gen laptop, should be able to run any programs on it, if you are currently using a laptop and you have used the same applications with that many pictures and works fine, then with newer models you shouldn't have any problem. We would also recommend to find more info online. Thank you,

I have a system built for Photoshop CS6. ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+;AMD FX-8150; 24gigs of DDR3 Ram; PSU 750 and ASUS 2GB GDDR5 card. It performed as I expected. But what made it even more impressive was when I bought a second card and joined the two in crossfire mode. I was impressed how "smooth" it performed running Photoshop. It should be more than adequate for graphic editing with single card.

It will run Adobe Photoshop (I have CS6 Master Collection installed). The external resources will be limited by the single USB port and the speed. Your cache settings in PS Preferences will be limited as well with only a 256GB internal drive. You can specify the alternative cache area for your external drive in Photoshop, but once again the speed is limited by the USB interface. If you are a photographer and in the field, this will work until you can get back to your desktop. I found the screen too small to work with the precision required for Photoshop. Lightroom might be the alternative if you are just fixing photos.

I love using PhotoShop on this computer. I bought it because of how nice images look on screen.

I would assume you can being that I do heavy Photoshop n Lightroom programs .. I haven't run my Cabnetware cad on it but this is a really great monster of a notebook being 64 and Win7 instead of 8 ..

I use Adobe Illustrator and Design along with Blender and, of course, Adobe Photoshop Elements and have had no problems at all. It's a big foot print of a machine, though.

Yes. I have it in my PC and I use Photoshop, various 3D modelling programs, and games extensively. My setup is benchmarked at >1800, iirc, and handles most games at >100 FPS. Doesn't flinch at my other utilities either. I do have a lot of other powerful stuff in here though.
