Laptop to use for Adobe Suite

Hello,
I am looking for a latop that would be a good option to run Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator on. The price range is under $1000 CAD, prefferably $700-$800 CAD. Any help would be greatly appreacited.
Thank you!

No I could only get it with Windows 8, which is a bit of a pain, but I have Lynda.com's Win8 Essentials which is doing its best to demystify the OS for me. I looked very hard at ADK laptops, but the prices and distance put me off. My laptop will spend most of its life sat in a cupboard, so some degree of compromise was called for.
You can learn a lot about what makes a good laptop fpr Adobe apps by looking at the ADK specs, although they are optimised for Premiere Pro. Note that they off both high end nVidia GTX### cards as well as Quadro. You have to add some of the options to get a decent NLE system, which puts the price up. The GT70 ONE I have got came as standard with two 128Gb SSD drives in a raid0, plus a 750Gb 7k4 rpm HDD. They claim >800Mb/s continuous read/write speeds for the raid0. The current GT70 comes with _three_ SSDs in a raid0, claiming >1100Mb/s It was the raid0 that sold me on the MSI knowing that my desktop wouldn't run Prempro properly until I added a couple of raid0 arrays.
I saved >NZ$1000 going with the older spec, but it reviews very close to the newer systems, and will run what I need it for with a margin that I hope will make viable for several years. At the moment it is fighting me while I instal the CC apps, and I have already had to start again with Photoshop because I messed it up while it was downloading. Oh for a decent internet connection!

Is my laptop good enough for adobe premiere cs6?

I wish to learn video editing, especially adobe premiere. I have copy of cs6 and noticed that my graphic card does not appear in the Adobe list so wanted to know what you think about my laptop before considering if I have to buy another one. My dell laptop is a core i7, 8gb ram. 2.5ghz with Intel hd 4000 graphic card.
Does this suffice for pro stuff? Is this good enough to learn to professional level or should I deep in to my savings and spend cash to buy a new lap top.
Thanks

Premier Pro is a professional level program with serious ability to handle pro levels of work, including handling many advanced video codecs.   As Bill has mentioned, simpler codecs like AVCHD at 1080P CAN be handled on a newer I7 laptop with a few upgrades...OTHER , more demanding codecs at higher resolutions may require more "horsepower" and hardware, usually found in a desktop computer. So, much depends on the TYPE of material you are planning to edit and the COMPLEXITY of your timelines and workflow...how many layers, how many effects , etc. There is much to learn, before buying any hardware, right here on this forum and over at the PPBM7 website. Other sites can confuse newbies with bad and erroneous information. Contributors here like Eric Bowen and Bill Gehrke have provided very valuable and correct information regarding appropriate hardware for PPro. You can learn a LOT by reading the results they have posted in testing various hardware configurations with PPro.
    Bill and I both have had success using a newer gaming laptop from Asus for editing 1080p material....the G750JW. That model is a little older now,but, well worth it at the time I bought it last summer refurbished for $850, ( normally $1,300). I had to add system memory...the original 8GB was FAR too little....up to 24GB, which works well. The laptop has 2 internal hard drive bays....which is important. I placed a Crucial M500 SATA III SSD in each bay to provide good performance. The original single drive that was supplied was USELESS....it was a slow 5400rpm HDD not capable of use for video editing...you MUST have at least two separate drives at a minimum to run PPro....OS,programs and Windows page file on one drive only....all the rest, ( video files ,media, previews , and cache files), on the second drive. Even 7200rpm HDDs have trouble keeping up with the demand of multi-track editing....SSDs provide WAY better performance and are worth the price difference., if you can afford it.
     If you MUST use a laptop and cannot consider a desktop, consider the following :
1. The current version of Adobe CC 2014 PPro is FAR better in performance while editing...MANY important updates have been made....CS 6 is getting a little old, and out of date...better to use the current version for MANY reasons.
2. The laptop will ALWAYS need to be plugged in while editing...PPro will be throttled if you try and use it on battery, no matter HOW you set the power options.
3. A good starting point for a laptop would be to get at LEAST what Bill and I have,or, BETTER.   That means a Windows machine, running Windows 8.1, having an Intel 4700HQ i7 CPU, or, better. System memory, ( including your own upgrade , if necessary) of at least 24 GB....preferably 32GB. An NVidia discreet graphics card, ( NO AMD ), the 765M, or, better. Drive system....this is IMPORTANT....this is the one area where many users have a "bottleneck". Your "C" drive should be a fast SATA III SSD with the correct controller and type of flash memory for handling video. Only the Crucial M550,or, the Samsung Pro series are recommended....the Crucial is cheaper and only slightly behind in performance. Either one BLOWS AWAY a conventional HDD.....transferring data read and write at almost 600MB/sec. vs. 130MB/sec. using the best HDD. Your second internal drive should be ANOTHER of the recommended SSDs. You COULD use a larger capacity 7200rpm HDD,but, its slow performance can slow things way down. This means having a high speed external port is also valuable...Thunderbolt is better than USB 3, in that regard. External drives can be used to backup your "D" drive and other tasks. Finally, a 1080p screen is a MUST to see the whole user interface of PPro....17.3" is better than the smaller displays, which are hard to see. You can ALWAYS hook up an external display, like I do, to GREATLY improve the editing experience .
I hope all this helps !!!...good luck !!!

What privacy settings are most people using for Adobe Flash Player and why?

Can anyone tell me what most people use for a privacy setting in Adobe Flash Player. I feel as though i want to use the "block all sites" option but i don't know if that is wise. Can anyone offer advice?

Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer. From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file. (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP. My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above). Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"? They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out. Can anyone help please? What is recommended? Thanks!

No one answered, but I think probably all can be used. I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe. Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

What Technology used for Adobe AIR Installer

Hi...Guys..For Mac environment what technology was used to built Adobe AIR Installer Window,the one we get when Installing Adobe AIR Application.I need to identify the Elements in it such as Agree,Cancel etc..But i am not able to do that..It will be helpful if any one suggest the automation tool to identify those elements so that i can automate the installation procedure of AIR...Plz reply...its an emergency..thanks in advance.

I think comodo code signing certificate is one of the nice option to be added for Adobe Air, as i have seen comodo code signing certificate in other adobe programs. Recently i bought comodo code signing from https://cheapsslsecurity.com/comodo/codesigningcertificate.html, to sign one of my adobe application and it works fine, you can use microsoft authenticode technology with comodo code signing.

Which SDK library to use for Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard?

Which OC4J instance to use for Soa Suite: oc4j_soa or home ?

When I setup Soa Suite I am asked which OC4J instance I want to use:
home
or
oc4j_soa
By default "home" is filled in the entry field. However in sample tutorials I saw always "oc4j_soa" and never "home"
What is the difference and which one is recommended ?
Peter

Hi Peter,
If you have installed Basic SOA Suite, you get the home oc4j container alone.
However, when you go for Advanced SOA Installation, you get oc4j_soa container, which is used clsutering one node with another, generally we have bpel, esb-rt on oc4j_soa and then we create oc4j_esbdt for esbdt. The docs refer to oc4j_soa, as we always talk about the Enterprise Deployments which uses Advanced SOA Suite with Oracle Database Dehydration Store, and not SOA Basic Install which uses Olite as dehydration store.
So, please create an oc4j container whenever needed for those specific j2ee applications, for easy identification and management.
Hope that clarifies...
Cheers

Rule for use of Adobe Suite

hi there. My company purchased adobe creative suite 3 for the works PC. This was some time ago before CS4 came out.
The software license agreement came by email and its called TLP 4.5 license programme what ever that means.
There are two serial numbers one for mac and one for windows.
What does this mean exactly? the dvds that came are windows only.
Am I able to install CS3 on my mac and use it from there provided the PC one is not being used or is that a misunderstanding on my part?
If I am able to do this can I purchase the CS3 disk kinda cheaply as I already have the license?
Many thanks

I've had bootcamp on my MBP since last December and all my Adobe products run fine, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Premier Pro CS3, no issues at all.

Can This Laptop Be Used For Premier Pro CS6?

Developed an interest in learning to edit video but have become confused in reading all of the posts about what is the true minimum hardware requirement/setup, as compared to what is listed as System Requirements by Adobe. Probably best to start with my initial goals.
Here is what I was looking at doing as this journey begins:
Purchased Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Classroom in a Book(CIB) after reading a review it would be a better start than Premier Pro CIB, which I plan on getting, if one has no experience in this field. During research feel that I would like to become a subscriber to the Creative Cloud as there are a number of products I would like to learn and use. Basically, I am hopeful that I may use my current laptop for the beginning of my education and further down the road look at getting a more powerful system as knowledge/skills/requirements increase. Initial video I wouild like to work with is that received from family members smart phones and will be looking at purchasing a simple video camera for short interviews and brief presentantions. Will likely desire uploading some completed projects to the web.
Current Hardware:
Laptop: Asus N53SV
OS: Windows 7 64bit
CPU: Intel i7-2670QM 2.2GHz Cores=4 Threads=8
L3 Cache: 6mb
RAM: 6MB
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1024 MB
OpenGL: 3.1.0
Display: 1920 X 1080
Drives: (1) HD, Seagate 500GB @ 7,200 RPM partitioned as C: 186GB with OS and programs, D: 254GB some documents
E: Optical DVD-RW
F: USB 3 connected 2 TB Seagate GoFlex External HD
If this laptop can be used with current hardware, I wouild sincerely appreciate any suggestions for how to best utilize what is available to begin learning Premier Pro CS6. As I will not have any time schedules that will have to be met I can accept that this may not be the ideal system. Just hoping it can be a start.
If any further information is required about the laptop please let me know and Thank You for your time with this question.

That's not a bad setup at all to get started with small projects.
We all have different budgets and patience. You may be OK with what you have. And if it seems too sluggish - your rig would be for me , the following would help Premiere Pro performance:
- increase RAM to 16GB (about $140 per eBay pricing from a seller with high ratings a few minutes ago)
- add another drive; my favorite choice with your laptop would be a Seagate Momentus 750gb drive installed in a NEWmodeUS.com optical bay caddy (slips into your laptop)

Jim
Exactly what I have done, and it is great.
You can get the caddy here:

I had this setup for my old HP and have a caddy ready to install for my new Dell Precision as well. You can either get an external house for your DVD drive, or get an external one - they are quite cheap.

Need Laptop Recommendation - best for Adobe Premiere Pro editing

I am in the process of looking for a new laptop and need recommendations based on how I will use the laptop. I produce video and mainly use the following programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro CS2, Adobe Encore DVD. I also use other photo editing software such as AutoFX PGE7.0.
I currently have an HP Pavilion which is about 5 years old. This desktop has the following specs:
HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.20 GHz, 2GB of RAM
I believe that with a new laptop, I could create my videos more efficiently. If you have any input as to what I need in a laptop for my specific purposes, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Angela

Harm,
Thank you for your response. I have yet to buy the new computer but will be doing so in the next couple of days. I read the links you provided, and another thread which discussed the performance of a laptop vs a desktop. I have changed my mind and will be purchasing a desktop. I need advice concerning this purchase, but will start a new discussion to do so.
Thanks so much,
Angela

Hi can anyone recommend the best laptop to use most adobe products ?

Hi I'm wanting to buy a new laptop for uni to use adobe programmes such as photoshop, illustrator, in design and most other programmes?

While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

Laptop specs suitability for Creative Suite CS3

Hello,
I need to spec up a laptop for a work colleague to run Creative Suite CS3, particularly Premiere CS3. The machine will be used primarily to capture and edit SD video - HD is not a requirement. Our IT department has provided the following specs. Can anyone advise what needs to be added/changed to ensure Premiere will run correctly and efficiently.
I think my main concern is support for the graphics card and whether the machine would be better running XP rather than Vista.
Dell XPS M1730
Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 4 MB L2-cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
Base Warranty - 1 Year XPS Premium Hardware Support (incl. Gaming and On-Site Support)
Crimson Red with White LED Backlights
17.0" UltraSharp WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT with TrueLife with Integrated 2.0MP web cam
2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
320GB (7200rpm) SATA RAID 0 Stripe (2x160GB)
Dual 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8700M GT graphics with NVIDIA SLI Technology
Fixed 8x DVD+/-RW Slim Slot Load drive, including SW
Primary 9-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (85 WHr)
Our institution primarily deal with Dell and this spec was provided by our IT department. Personally I prefer HP machines so if anyone has any other reccomendations please advise - also anything else I may need to consider.
Budget for the machine is up to about £1500
Thanks

I've been working with my new Dell XPS M1330 for a week now.
T7500, 2 G RAM, nVidia 8400, 160 SATA 7200rpm drive, Vista Home Premium.
Prem CS3 with Cineform AspectHD worked fine on HDV short 2 to 3 minute stuff...did not attempt longer.
Today my external SATA 7200rpm drive and SATA ExpressCard arrived. Using it, with my internal drive used now for system/programs only, I just captured 10 minutes HDV, applied a few titles and transitions, and output to 1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality.
No problems...yet.
Almost as fast as my Desktop with Pentium 940D, two striped Raid sets and 4G RAM on WindowsXP Pro.

What is the best preference settings to use for CS5 Suites

I upgraded my PC a few months back and I'm currently running the CS5 suites. A few weeks ago I started having issues with the CS5 suites freezing up & in some cases even crashing on me. I always run Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign & bridge at the same time, as I'm constantly moving between program on any given project. What I'd like to know, is if there's an optimum setting to use in the preferences for each program, including bridge to help them run more smoothly & efficiently, without the computer or programs bogging down or crashing on me. Below is a list of the hardware I'm running, which I've been told is more than enough to run the CS5 suites. Any information would be greatly appreciated, as I'm starting to get frustrated with the performance.
Hardware & operating system:
- Windows 7 service pack 3
- EVGA X58 FTW3 motherboard
- i7 960 4-Core CPU
- GeForce GTX 470 Sli graphics card
- Corsair Extreme 24 gigs ram
- 3 TB 7200 RPM hard drive

Generally speaking, freezing and crashing problems don't have to do with performance configuration settings, and there are fairly few such settings that affect most applications. Video editing software tends to have a bunch, but that doesn't sound like it is pertinent to you.
Indeed, your hardware sounds far more powerful than you'd need to easily avoid problems based on performance limitations.
I suspect, then, that each of the problems you are seeing is a seperate unique problem not a result of a configuration choice. It'll need to be debugged carefully with full details, and as close as you can get to a reproducible case as possible.
In InDesign, about the only settings of relevance are whether Live Screen Drawing is turned on (images resize in realtime when you adjust their bounding boxes), and whether the View > Display Performance setting is set to Typical (the default) or High Quality.
You could also experiment with disabling Live Preflight.
You mention running 4 apps at once -- when you do so, are the non-active applications performing computation, or just sitting there idle? For instance, are you executing a complex filter operation in Photoshop at the same time as exporting a PDF in InDesign, all while you are drawing patterns in Illustrator? I assume the answer is Probably Not, in which case it lends strength to the hypothesis that the performance characteristics of your machine are not at issue here.
