Hi guys, I´m going to buy this month a new laptop, I think it´s going to be this one.

Now my question: Will it run Photoshop CC and InDesign? Basically, I am not going to

use the programs in a very "hardcore-style", just some basic picture editing and maybe some

flyer designing. Not the biggest work.

I´m thankful for every answer!

I would not recommend it at all because it has an Intel Atom-derived quad-core CPU that's significantly weaker than even a low-end modern Intel Core-based dual-core mobile CPU. In fact, that Pentium N4200 CPU is as weak as or weaker than even a 10-year-old Intel Core 2 Duo CPU! That is one of the primary reasons why Intel recently renamed the Atom-derived Pentium N- and J-series CPUs to Pentium Silver while it renamed the Core-based Pentium G-series CPUs to Pentium Gold.

And its 4GB of RAM cannot be expanded at all - another strike against it.

To be fair, such a laptop is not designed for content creation or editing at all. Only for basic Web surfing use.
