Will the Creative Suite CS6 run well on the latest MacBook Air?

I am in the market for a mac and I would like to know how much performance would I be sacrificing for portability in choosing an Air. I currently run a Dell Studio 15 with a 1st-gen Quad-core i7 1.6gHz with 8GB of RAM. Obviously I cannot compare the two for various reasons, so that is just a gauge for what I am accostomed to. I have been told that an Air can run Photoshop, but not everyone pushes the program to the same degree or in the same way. Is there a quantifiable threshold for what the MacBook Air can handle in Photoshop, such as performance editing RAW files vs performance doing 3D work or Animation work? How does it perform running Photoshop and say, Illustrator, at the same time?
I understand it may be too soon to tell...
Signed,

Since you're asking about Photoshop performance on the latest MacBook Air, you'll get more responses if you post in the Photoshop forum.

    CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it.  I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps).  So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens.  What next?

    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro due to Windows 8 malfunction with starting up. I am trying to reinstall as I am an owner of the Creative Suite CS6 and I cannot access my serial number. I purchased the software in 2013 and never registered i, apparently. When directed on Adobe's site to access the serial number, it takes me to an outside 3rd party site, which I tried but it does not actually work. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Where are the Creative Suite CS6 manuals?

    I bought creative suite master & can not find the pdf manuals anywhere.
    Please tell me you didn't release a major suite without them

    Jeff thanks for the response. I have no problems getting to the help files, This has been more of a situation of expecting PDF manuals as always supplied on the DVD after you stopped providing paper manuals in earlier additions, which by the way I prefer PDF’s. I have also been a bit frustrated due to the fact that some of the programs in the Suite will not run under my current video set up with includes both Intel graphics and Radeon 6970 GPU. Yet these same programs had no problems with this setup in CS5. Seems like we are regressing. Photoshop CS6 Extended 64 bit does run OK without problem but Premiere Pro does not.
    I will review the link you provided. I have looked at the link about the video problem but find the solution disturbing as the CS6 Suite is the only SW on my computer that would require me to change my BIOS setting to disable the Intel graphics although programs are supposed to switch automatically to the GPU as needed. It is even more disturbing since CS5 does not have this problem. I am running a machine with 16 M of RAM Win 7 64 bit and an Intel i7 2600K processor.
    Sincerely,

  • Will Adobe Creative Suite 5 run on a Macbook Air?

    I'm thinking of replacing my Macbook Pro 15" with a Macbook Air. I mainly do copywriting, but sometimes I need InDesign and Photoshop. Does the CS suite require a quad-core computer? Will it run on a Macbook Air?

    Do NOT get any MacBook 2012 models if you use Adobe CS4, 5, 5.5 or 6.  All models are crashing on any dialog box popup's, i.e. they are nearly unusable for work, unless you like saving every 30 seconds.  They do restart Indesign very fast after it crashes...  Apple has made no comment on what seems to be an obvious video card driver issue in OS X 10.7.4 on the new 2012 models. There are a number of other video related issues as well, but the show stopper for us is the Indesign incompatibility.  Google "fixed" the Chrome problems by removing the 3D accelerator calls thereby slowing down Chrome on these models.

  • Where can I (re)download the Creative Suite CS6?

    I purchased the student and teacher version, so the product is registered here in my account but I can´t find any installer download. Sadly, the discs for installing it dont work anymore for whatever reason.
    Thank you so much in advance! Also, but thats not that relevant - is it possible to change the language from German to English? I´ve heard once you could get a different key in exchange for your "old" one.

  • I want to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite cs6 master collection. How much will it be? and how do you purchase it?

    Hi,
    I want to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite CS6 master collection (not the creative cloud) that contains Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Adobe Bridge, Dreamweaver, Flash, After effects, Adobe Premiere Pro.. etc. and I think this is the bundle that I'm looking for.
    I want to know how much would it cost, and how would I purchase the Adobe cs6 softwares (from a store or online)?
    I prefer to have the actual CD/DVD of the adobe cs6 bundle, would that be possible?
    or do you have to download it online and get the serial number online too?
    Thank you

  • Memory leak in creative suite CS6

    Hi
    i have a user that run the creative suite cs6 software and after a few hours of using the software the machine becoming slower and slower.
    she as to close some software or reboot the machine to be able to work again with adecent speed.
    Thanks helping
    Pierre

    We cannot know. You are not telling us anything about the machine, what programs, what steps. Sorry, but just calling it a memory leak doesn't make it so and without an exact scenario to reproduce, this is pretty useless. In fact this could be just as well a generic system issue with swap space filling up, graphics card buffers not flushing, clipboard data accumulating or the system continualyl covering your behind by handling driver crashes quietly, but remnants of this obstructing operations. And then of course the usual - security tools blocking stuff, network access exhausting bandwidth and what have you. Otherwise of course any program can bring even the most powerful computer to its knees, if a user uses "bad" settings liek excessive History in Photoshop, but we realyl need a lot more details before we can even begin to take even a guess...

  • Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium Language

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I couldn't find a CS6 related one...
    Anyways...
    I recently bought the Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium as a student version.
    Now, in order to get the serial number, I have to verify online.
    There, I am asked about the language at one point. As I bought the software in Germany, I think you should chose "German", right?
    My question is: may I also chose "English", as I'd prefer an english version?
    Thanks!

    I would choose the English version if that is what you want.  If things should run afoul in trying that you can always change the language (for CS6 at least) - Order product | Platform, language swap

  • Does Creative Suite cs6 Master Collection V6 Windows work with Windows 8 OS

    I would like to purchase the Creative suite cs6 master collection V6 for windows, will this software work with windows 8 operating system.  In system requirements it only state's windows 7 but I have heard that some software will still work with windows 8 also.  Does anyone know if it will work with windows 8? I would like to confirm this before I order, as it is rather an expensive program.
