2017 Macbook

[dgolds]

hey everyone,

I just purchased a new MacBook. After purchasing it I realized it only has 1.2 GHz dual-core intel Core m3 processor with turbo boost up to 3.0GHz

I just wanna make sure this is enough power for me to do my occasional light editing and creating in photoshop.

thanks for posting that but I'm still not quite sure what all this means...

• macOS version 10.13 (High Sierra), macOS version 10.12 (Sierra), or Mac OS X version 10.11 (El Capitan)
• 2 GB or more of RAM (8 GB recommended)
• 4 GB or more of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system)

I dont think you have any problem with that processor, and the most important things for photoshop to run smoothly are Memory Ram and ssd hard drive. Unless you're working with big archives (more than 1 - 2 GB) i dont think you will have any problem.

Cheers!
