Is this PC fast enough to run Photoshop (or equivalent) and multiple online webpages at once?
2068050
I run PhotoShop and the processor is fast enough. With Windows 8 and 8GB of RAM, it will run Internet Explorer at the same time without noticeably affecting PhotoShop performance. How well multiple open web pages perform is more a function of your internet connection speed. If you want more speed out of PhotoShop, try adding more RAM.

It is, but get enough ram, 16gb or at least two gb for each core. Also don't forget that much of video rendering in modern NLEs is off loaded to the graphics processors.

The answer is YES. The HP Envy 20-d090 is well above the minimum requirements to run Photoshop or Adobe Elements. It runs on a dual core Pentium G640 processor that is way faster than a Pentium 4 single core. It also has a screen resolution of 1600x900, 4 GB of Ram, and 1 TB hard drive. Hope this helps! Photoshop CC system requirements Windows Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 processor (2 GHz or faster) Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 1 GB of RAM 2.5 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash storage devices) 1024 x 768 display (1280 x 800 recommended) with OpenGL 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)* Photoshop CS6 system requirements Windows Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 processor Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 3 orMicrosoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1.

I have a full version of Photoshop CS6 installed and haven't seen any issues with performance.

I believe this machine has plenty of memory and cpu to handle all of those apps running simultaneously...though Ive never used Lightroom. I did have to return my zenbook after 1 week though because of a failed power supply, and I wasnt the only one. I hope their QA organization got a hold of that one because otherwise its a nice machine

Yes, I think this will be fine for basic still photography and editing. My wife has this unit with over 40,000 photos, and PhotoShop 12 on it, and LIghtRoom as well, and it works fast and smoothly.

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.

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.

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. It will run Adobe Photoshop (I have CS6 Master Collection installed).

make the ram 8GB and you will be flying! otherwise works pretty good with photoshop but i think that it will work as good with engineering design like autodesk, solid works and etc. You can really feel the difference between celeron or pentium proc (i wont even mention AMD...)

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.

your question has many answers depending on what you load on the laptop? 1.33GHZ is not in its self real fast but if you are only web surfing it is enough(dont forget the 4 GiG of ram). if you put Photoshop on it then it would not be considered fast anymore. At the time of purchase the computer works very well and is fast enough to make you happy and will only take about 90 seconds to boot. It is designed to work "as is" kind of like a car, once you start making modifications then you can no longer expect the same results as when it was new. IMO this is a great little computer for sitting on the bed and websurfing/facebook/ect. This is not a good multimedia computer but you will only spend $350 on it. good multi media laptops start at $800. Best of luck

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.

I don't see why not. But I am not sure you will be running much of anything else while using Photoshop with this computer. I installed Windows 8 and it gives you a status report of sorts. Graphics was 5.5 which is middle of the road. Also, I would recommend maxing out on the Ram. You can easily add RAM to this computer. Just go to the crucial memory website and it will automatically tell you what ram to buy and which slots to install. Good Luck! I have yet to install Elements on this one because I am thinking of buying another one just for me which I will most likely purchase either Photoshop or Lightroom 4. Try it and let us all know how it works. I don't see why not. But I am not sure you will be running much of anything else while using Photoshop with this computer.

Get the 830D; use Win7 64 bit and try to get 4 gig ram... Runs fast and cool.

I would think so. It runs everything l've tasked it with to include high graphics software (Coral Draw).
