Hey Jamie!

Mylo is absolutely correct about the chromebook and the OS'es photoshop runs on

Depending on your budget your objective is a difficult one!!!

If you are serious about this; provide us a price range, preference regarding Operating Systems, and also indicate if maybe you are willing to consider a desktop or a AIO( all in one-which CAN be portable) device as opposed to a Laptop/Utrabook/2 in on 1 etc.

Just few caveats if you already have your knowledge source:

1) A dedicated graphics/video card-pci-express interface will REALLY make a huge difference versus the video architecture on any-all( as of now) laptop type device!

2) Buy, build something where RAM(randon access memory) is as high as possible( as many ram slots,high total RAM capacity like 32 gb of RAM )--sadly most all big software or even SAS(software as service) makers allow their stuff to be Memory Pigs!

3) A multi-core, fast CPU with lots of cache, and a BIG preferably SSD hard Drive(or hybrid-ssd/spinning) although  a spinning latest SATA drive works just fine just not as fast BUT is certainly less expensive!

Thanks for reading- if you wanna know more, or even specific makes and models give me a shout out or ask this community they will have your back!

The answer is changing. Android apps on Chromebooks.

Adobe's Creative Cloud Android apps are coming to Chromebooks

‌No. ChromeOS is a Linux derivative and CC requires Windows or OS X.
