Is the new MacBook pro good enough for using cs5.

[jayo1971]

I am thinking of upgrading my iMac 2.93 early 2009 to a new MacBook pro 15inc i5 2.4, however I'm worried about the preformance. I am a freelance designer and do artwork design using cs5, aperture for my photography and iMovie for the odd video.

If anyone out there uses one to one the same type of workflow please let me know what your thoughts are.

I don't think you're going to see much of a performance gain.

I'm running CS5 on a mid-2010 15" 2.4 i5 and have no problems at all - runs quick and smooth.

He is looking for a excuse to buy something he does not need right now.

I installed CS5 on a DP G4 the other day, and it ran fine after a RAM upgrade.

I wouldn't bother. Unless you need something new and shiny, in which case, why not?

I use several of the apps every day on my 2006 macbook pro.

Edit - ok uhh looks like you already use CS5. I'm sure any new imac or macbook would work fine.

Yes.

Yes. That computer is OVER the specs to run it. My 5 year old macbook, not even macbook pro runs it. Not that good, but it does. The MacBook air 13 inch also runs Adobe CS5 fast.. So, that says something. Lol
