Question

Hi, I am planning to buy a new laptop and found HP Spectre X360, Intel core i7- 1065G7 10th gen, 13-inch 4K UHD screen , RAM 16GB, Intel Iris Plus graphics, 1TB SSD and 32 GB Intel Optane.

 

I was wondering if Intel Iris Plus graphics would work well with Adobe softwares such as Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, After Effects, and XD?

    That model has been superceded by a newer model with the new 11th-Gen Intel CPU with integrated Iris Xe Graphics. Based on the one result in PugetBench with this new CPU/iGPU combo, performance is promising. (And no, it isn't quite as powerful as my 3.5-year-old desktop quad-core i7 system with a discrete GeForce GTX 1650 Super, but it will give a desktop PC that's equipped with the exact same i7-7700 CPU and a mid-to-upper-end discrete GPU of its day, such as a GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB card, a run for its money.)

    The Iris Plus is an entry level graphics card, aimed at people wanting Office apps and basic games, I guess. If you plan to use Adobe apps seriously you will certainly want or need more than that; I observe there are HP Spectre X360 that includes  Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q GPU with 4GB of VRAM. This is specifically mentioned as a MINIMUM for Photoshop on https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/system-requirements.html

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Video Hardware forum so that proper help can be offered.
