Does the MacBook Air run CS5 Design Premium?

Hi, I really want to get the MacBook Air for school, and I really want to get Design Premium for personal reasons. So, I went to find the specs for the MacBook Air 1.6ghz (1st gen) and found everything to match the requirements, except I am unsure about the video card. I know the newest models (1.86ghz and 2.13ghz) will work, but I want to purchase mine used to save money, as it will only be a temporary computer. If you can, please help me by answering the following question:
Will the MacBook Air (1.6ghz 1st gen) run CS5 Design Premium?
Thanks!
p.s. If it does not, please (if you can) tell me which of the models (1.8 (1st gen), 1.86 (2nd gen), 2.13 (2nd gen)) will Design Premium work well on

I looking to make a website, create pictures (3D) using Photoshop Extended, and some other small things. Will the MacBook Air 1.6ghz suffice?

Does the Macbook Air run full, standalone versions of software or does it require special, streamlined apps?

I'm looking to buy a Macbook. Will the Macbook Air load and run full, unabridged versions of Mac-compatible software, such as what I already own, or does it require only special "apps" versions such as the iPad and iPhone do? I realize that the Macbook Air blurb states you can wirelessly use another Mac's drive to load software onto a MBA or buy an add-on drive to connect it up and load software but my question is the performance capability of the MBA to actually run full versions of ALL OS X Mac-compatible software.

The MacBook Air runs the identical operating system as any other Mac, and is subject to no arbitrary limitations imposed on the latest software, or by the latest software.
The only remaining factor is hardware. All Mac software has it's own individual requirements for the system, that being the speed of the processor, the amount of memory, the type of graphics processor required, etc. Some select software, say intense game apps, will not run very well or at all on the MBA, and it simply the lack of a system's component compatibility of performance. But this is a factor present in all computers, nothing special about the MacBook Air.
So, as long as the hardware is sufficient for the system requirements of the software, you can install and use any full version app designed for OS X Lion.

Does the MacBook Air 2012 supports SDXC Cards?

Does the MacBook Air 2012 supports SDXC Cards?
Thx

Hi! How are you? The reason why I'm here is to find out more about SDXC support/compatibility info on the macbook air 2012 and how to fix this nagging issue if it's fixable.
I had just bought a Sandisk extreme pro 64GB rated at 95mb/s for my Nikon DSLR. Unfortunately, MBA struggles to detect or mount my card, after a few sweats, it would mount, but then very slow to process and preview the images as "Thumbnail preview". Then, after a few more sweats, you can scroll through the thumbnails smoothly.
Streaming HD videos straight from the SD Slot is butcher chopping the beef. Video lags, stutters, chops, in otherwords, USELESS and a pain in the neck. So you just want to copy all the files to your macbook, and play from there. Copying files from SDXC to my macbook takes forever; writing is also another issue that take much more than forever!
I have a top of the line macbook air 2012 (i7, 8GB, 512) and I always thought it's a versatile reliable computer but now I'm very disappointed. On the other hand, doing the same things on my macbook pro 2010 is seamless. I also tested on my windows 8 desktop to be flawless as well.
Therefore, the memory card is not the problem. It's macbook air's sd slot that's a failure. I never thought spending $2,199 for a super computer would make me stress like this. In addition, the magsafe 2 is another failure in design. It always disconnects just by moving my macbook air from one spot of the table to another. Having it charged while on my lap gets on my nerves when it keeps getting disconnected! I hate Apple for doing this. If only there was a Windows notebook that surpasses Apple's design, I would never EVER buy Apple products EVER again.

I bought an MacBook Air 13 from Dubai last month. However I see smudge lines on the screen of the laptop which are prominent if the screen is black. Does the macbook air have international warranty ? Since I am in India right now. Can I get it fixed here

I don't know what service options are available in India but if this helps I do know that once you purchase your Apple product the warranty is valid anywhere in the world.

Does the macbook air need the screen protection film? thx

No, dont dare do that, it messes the screen up and can easily damage it.
forget that idea PERIOD

Does the macbook air get hot from use?

I am considering purchasing a Macbook Air. I have had problems with notebook PC's in the past getting very hot.
Does the Macbook Air get hot from use?

Yes, well, virtually every computer has a fan in it; many fail their mission.
Now that you mention it, I saw no grill or mesh anywhere when I looked at the MBA at the Apple Store. Is it where the lid meets the body? I didn't see speakers, either, although I heard music.

Does the MacBook Air have a slot for a lock?

My current MacBook has a slot in which I can insert a lock to protect the computer in a public location (a library, for example).
Does the MacBook Air have the same slot?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the MBA is too thin for the Kensington lock. I've seen a couple solutions but they aren't inexpensive. I've seen this one and some of these. I recommend Prey for after the fact.

I formatted the harddrive and reinstalled CS5 Design Premium, but Dreamweaver won´t install again.

I formatted the harddrive of my Macmini from 2010 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Mac OSX 10.6.3 or 10.6.4 (snow leopard) and reinstalled Adobe CS5 Design Premium student edition, but Dreamweaver won´t install again. I downloaded a new CS5 from Adobe yesterday, but it doesn´t help. What´s wrong?

You would have to provide the install logs to figure that out:

Otherwise you should run the cleaner tool and try again:

Does the Macbook Air need a protective case to avoid scratches?

Hi.. My husband gave me a MacBook Air 11" for Christmas. I would like to ask if there is a need to put a protective case over it to avoid scratches. Also read reviews from MBA owners that putting a protective case makes the MBA heat up faster. I'm planning to get the iGlaze Moshi and considering its quite pricey, I would like your advice if there is really a need to have a protective case. Thanks!

Hi Calcarballo.
Many thanks for your question.
As a user of a 2013 MacBook Air I have used Specks Shell for my MacBook Air and I cannot see a difference in heat. I bought the Speck 13" SmartShell Case for the MacBook Air and personally I am happy. It keeps the font screen clean from dirt and minor scratches and the bottom safe and clean. Personally, the Shell cases will not be a massive benefit if you throw your MacBook Air around but it does add a layer of protection.
Highlights of the Specks Case include:
Durable, ultra-thin hard shell protects from scratches and scuffs
Sleek, glossy two-piece design is easy to put on and take off
Anti-tilt rubberized feet keep your MacBook stable and secure
The website for the SmartShell is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD623ZM/A/speck-11-smartshell-case-for-macbook -air?fnode=50&fs=f%3D11inchmacbookair%26fh%3D36c2%252B2c0a
If you were looking for supreme protection, I would look at a Thule 11" Gauntlet Envelope Case. I have this case for the MacBook Air 2013 13" and it is way more protective, it is an envelope that is tapered to provide a perfect fit and safeguards your MacBook Air.
Highlights of this envelope include:
Tapered shape provides a precise fit for MacBook Air
Stitch-free, heat-welded seams
Semi-rigid EVA foam construction creates a glove-like fit and the padded protection of a sleeve
Nylex-lined interior lets MacBook easily slide in and out, preventing scratches
The website for the envelope is here: http://store.apple.com/au/product/H9933ZM/A/thule-11-gauntlet-envelope-case-for- macbook-air
Basically the choice is yours. The Protective case - the iGlaze Moshi and Speck's SmartShell will provide some protection against scratches and scruffs, but will not save your MacBook on big drops therefore do not utilise these SmartCases as an excuse to make sure your MacBook is safe. Your envelope will provide more protection but it is not as practical as the SmartCase.
The Choice is yours!
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Is the registration process for CS5 Design Premium different than CS4?

When I installed my CS4 Design Premium the program would ask me to register from time to time until I finally did it to stop the reminder from coming up.
Is the CS5 Design Premium registration process the same?

I can't imagine why not, but you really should call Adobe sale to make sure you've got all the proper credentials.

Does the Macbook Air need to have a fan under it to prolong its life?

I just bought a Macbook Air and would like to know if an external fan is necessary as it was for my Macbook. Even with the fan the Macbook would get really hot. I noticed that the Macbook Air gets warm also, but with everything internal being solid state I don't know if the external fan would be beneficial or not. Thanks for your thoughts, in advance.

Anytime you can keep an electronic device nearer to a preferred temperature, you will do nothing but good for it. In this case, you may make the fan work at slightly lower RPM. Primary cooling of the MBA is acccomplished by means of an interior fan, coupled to a heat sink/pipe leading to the CPU/GPU. This same fan also draws air over the logic board. Interior heat is also expelled, to a lesser extent, by means of being radiated and conducted by the case bottom.
However, blowing a fan across the bottom is probably the least efficient manner in which to aid cooling of the MBA, especially if you are drawing power from the MBA to run that fan.
If your goal is to extract heat from the case, you can more efficiently do so if your heat conduction to the case itself is more efficient than air, as the case bottom has a rather low surface area to exterior dimension ratio. There are heat conducting materials suited for contact cooling, such as the Targus Heat Defense Pad. This device also consumes no power from the MBA. The downside is that it is only functional for a finite period, wherein the crystals remain somewhat solidified and are able to take on heat.
If you are using the MBA for extended periods, perhaps a fan type cooler will offer some help, but don't expect much if it also contributes to heat generation by being powered from the MBA itself. Look for something that actually conducts heat from the case, and uses a fan across a high surface area element to transfer conducted heat to the air.
But as far as the MBA actually "needing" additional cooling, ...in most cases no. If it were the case, then Apple would be making the recommendation. However, there are definite situations where users are putting much more heat loading than what would be considered "normal", and in such cases, it is definetely something to consider. I use a heat defense type pad from time to time, and it works great.

Does the Macbook Air Have a Fan ?

hate laptop fans
assumed that the air was a fanless setup and then saw something that changed my thinking
does the 13" air (october 2010) come with a fan ?

right, yes ...
i am a little obsessive about fan noise, it drives me nuts
i have had apple laptops and they tend to be state of the art when it comes to running quiet (my imac is virtually silent)
i recently bought and returned a dell vostro v130 which uses hyperbaric cooling and which also runs nearly silent (i returned it because i just couldn't learn to live with windows 7)
i assumed because of the size of the air and the weight and the fact that it uses an ssd that it would be passively cooled but the core duo won't allow that i guess
i owned a dell mini 9 which IS passively cooled by a large heatsink and doesn't have a fan ... it ran an intel atom processor which is a very different processor from the core duo (slower and cooler)
the new google chromebooks are passively cooled i think but again use very low power processors
as you say joeyr, once you put any kind of power in a laptop i guess you need a fan ...
