QUOTE(AlexLai @ May 7 2011, 09:39 PM) Any amount of RAM more than 4GB is useless on a 32-bit OS. You need to get a 64-bit OS and the hardware can support 8GB. Well, if you want something lighter, you could get a 12" subnotebook. Yes, I'll upgrade to 64-bit too when I upgrade to 8GB.  Thanks for the kind advice!  I'm using a netbook now and I'm kind of suffering with the small size, luckily most of the time I'm using company laptop in office... |

I understand the pain sometimes when using a 10" screen and keyboard but you can't deny the portability of such a device.  QUOTE(JYong @ May 7 2011, 09:44 PM) For CS5...Minimum system requirement.  Minimum sometimes also not very helpful and accurate. I can run CS5 on my older laptop no problem. |

Yeah but 12" is quite pricey for Dell, maybe I haven't finished exploring yet. Yes, the portability is really amazing but until iPad came into my life, my netbook remains static on my desk and iPad gets to go out from home everyday. |
