I'm looking for an inexpensive laptop to run Adobe Creative Cloud (photoshop and lightroom) on while traveling. Will this work?

I am not familiar with Adobe Creative Cloud as it sounds like newer software. You should check with the Adobe website for compatibility with Windows 8.1. I can tell you this much. I managed to install Photoshop 5 on this C55 Toshiba Satellite. It has the entry level AMD E1 processor but it has no trouble running Photoshop 5. It's the fastest laptop I've ever run Photoshop 5 on. Adobe claimed Photoshop 5 would not run on Win 8.1 but they lied. It took some manual installing of certain files but I got it to work. It was the install file that wasn't up to the job - not the Photoshop 5 software itself. You shouldn't have any such problems with the newer Adobe software as long as the install program supports Win 8.1.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (and previous versions) will run on this computer, however it will run very ineffectively. It will use about 50% of this computers RAM and nearly all of it's processing speed. If you are using advanced tools such as the Healing Brush Tool, Blur Tool, Smear Tool, and anything else that does advanced pixel manipulation, the computer will slow down and the program may crash. I recommend finding a machine with at least 6GB of RAM, and quality performance dual core processor. You might find one for around $350

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.

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.

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.

Powerful laptops such as the ASUS are very popular with photographers and graphic designers for thee ability to run large programs efficiently and effectively. I think this would be a perfect laptop for a photographer. Best of luck in your decision!

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).

Please check with Adobe for the system requirements for the Photoshop version that you are planning to run and compare it with the specifications of this computer. Most versions run on this model without a problem, but there are some more advanced versions that might need a more powerful setup.

I am not sure. I have never try it. But it runs Photoshop CC and AutoCAD 2013.

The pen input is really nice for Adobe Creative suite. You'll have to download addition drivers from Wacom. So from that perspective it would be a great PS tool. But if I were to go that route I would rather spring for a core i5 surface pro 3. A traditional laptop should be more powerful dollar for dollar but you don't get the wacom digitizer.

It should run photoshop perfectly fine. I run games and tons of productivity tools on mine. I have upgraded my RAM, but most programs are processor intensive over RAM. And the HP can handle most productivity software that you can throw at it.

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!

It would, but I would suggest getting something with a good video card instead or at least be able to add one.. THis is a 4th Generation Intel processor, so that is a help. The 5th Generation which are now entering the market are better. The i3 version in this unit is not all that fast either. I happen to like Lenovo brand and have had little to no issues, but then I am a techie part-time. If you render larger drawings this may not be the best bet. If you are a hobbyist, and have the time to wait, probably ok.

This is a gaming computer, so its built to withstand gaming needs. Given that, yes, this computer will run premier and photoshop just fine.

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

Works great with my Adobe Photoshop 10 i use it for video / photo editing and gaming but there are faster processors for the same price now if your motherboard can take them
