How much space will the CC installation take up on my hard drive? I am planning on purchasing a new Mini Mac. Obviously, bigger is always better, but I am trying to understand how much space this thing will require. So I can plan accordingly! Thanks

Should not be any issues with hard drive space for the software itself.

Master Collection CS6 is less than 10GB. CC is probably similar.

Mac Mini starts at 256GB SSD or 500GB HDD

It's all about what you want to do with the software. It's your data/media files which will eat the space. Depends if you edit hi-res photos or HD video then you could be into TB terrritory.

Surely the space it takes will depend on how many of the plethora of programs you download and install?

Point taken. Since I am new to all this, and CC seems to be the whole pkg., I wanted to be adequately prepared. Thanks.
