Hardware for 'Creative Cloud'
Hello,
Recent user of “Creative Cloud”, I am considering purchasing a new computer to effectively use this suite of solutions.
Do you have any recommendations?
I thank you for that.

I'm looking for what could be described as a minimum requirement for smooth usage.

Nvidia RTX 4050 or 4060
Steer away from anything marketed specifically for gaming. Requirements are very different. For instance, we see a fairly high percentage of problems with AMD systems here in the forums. It's not "bad", it's just basically gaming hardware configured for gaming. That's their defined market.
Be extra careful with laptops, if that's on the table. Extensive modifications of operating system and hardware is the manufacturers' way of putting their stamp on the product, as well as extra layers of added "helpful" software. All of this tends to get in the way and create problems. You want as lean and basic as possible - not in terms of specs, but in terms of configuration.
