Hi all,

My wife is looking into buying a budget PC she will leave at work. Her most intensive tasks will be using CS6 Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver.

She is set on getting this VAIO here:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPCEH37FX-15-5-Inch-Laptop-White/dp/B006MB7DX8

Specs: i5-2540M 2.5 GHz 3MB cache, 6GB RAM, 640 GB hard drive.

Has anyone had any experience with these machines? Would it do well running the programs listed? I understand there is a newer model out but I think she is set on the look of this VAIO as opposed to the Aluminum Silver of the newer VAIO model.

I've tried looking up benchmarks but I didn't exactly find the information I needed.

Thank you!
