Is this good for photoshop and illustrator? I'm a graphic designer. I often use Photoshop and Illustrator. Sales rep at Best Buy said I need i5 processor for that. I want to buy the cheapest computer that can still run fast with the above programs. Is this a good computer for that? Are there other models that are in the same price range for that purpose?

It runs Photoshop pretty adequately for me, although there is some lag every once in a while but it's rare. Be aware that its Intel family graphics software makes some colors ever slightly more yellow.

Yes you can use this laptop for that. It's probably the best laptop in the market with an I5 for the price.

Not sure if you should use this one, at least not this particular model. It may work fine, but you may be better off with a Lenovo. Not sure if only mine is this slow, but I only use it for browsing and even so it still seems a bit slow.

Photoshop and illustrator run good. The 6gig of RAM is sufficient. I would go with the larger model and a bit more RAM if you used it really often for image manipulation.

Daniel · Answer

I would say yes although I haven't used it with these programs.

It will run Photoshop and Illustrator but slow, it's not recommended.
