Yes, I am serious. Do you own the Dell Inspiron Duo Notebook?

We have read elsewhere that people have had CS5 on this machine, we are looking for confirmation that it will, in fact, run smoothly.

whatever floats your boat

CS5 on a netbook?

are you serious?

did you read the system requirements for CS5 and Illustrator?

I have one and occasionally use Photoshop (CS5) for basic image/photo manipulation and it runs fine.

Be warned though, it's only a capcactive touch-screen so doesn't take styluses/styli.

I've never tried large files on it but presume it would slow the computer down quite a lot (although it's a netbook, it's about the most powerful netbook you can get so you could try it).

I have an Inspiron Duo and I run Photoshop CS5, In Design CS5 and Illustrator CS5.  I am careful not to have anything running in the background when I'm using them but they work just fine for me.

I can't see what all you doubters are bleeting about...................

`m using CS3 without any problems.

2GB of RAM is surely sufficient to run CS3 or 5, the company i work for uses CS3 all the time on Desktops with only 2GB RAm without any problems.

i also dont`t see why it couldnt be done, or if there are any real reasons you wouldnt want to run CS3 or 5

Grtz,

The Adobe CS5 Master Suite does in fact run perfectly on the Duo. I'm an architect who has been running both the CS4 and CS5 versions of these programs on my Duo machine for over a year.

I've had the Duo for over a year now and can happily say it can run a Photoshop CS5, an Illustrator CS5, a AutoCAD 2011, and a SketchUp 8 window simultaneously without crashing. The great little processor in this netbook, actually means it runs these programs faster than my more powerful Dell Vostro !!

hello, well i just bought a dell inspiron duo, and i am a college student and i am studying graphic design. i bought this computer but i CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOSHOP!!! lol, i read your post and you said you use it without problem on the same computer so i know it is capable of running the program. maybe i guess its just operator error somehow but when i download it, it goes to the adobe download assistant and it took over 5 hours to download and when it got done it displayed a message, it said something along the lines of error not enough space or something.. and asked if i wanted to try again. i am currently on my third try to download the trial. i have over 250 gb free!! so please help me or tell me if there is something i have to do to get this to work. thank you for your time

I'm afraid I can't help you with that - I got my copy of Photoshop from an installation CD, and yes the install did take several hours, but once it was on my system it ran fine. Sorry, I can't be of more help, maybe consider asking Adobe for a CD version instead of the download ?
