Hello, I am looking for recommendations for the best laptop, tablet, or 2 in 1 device for using the Creative Cloud. I currently have an old laptop with CS5 on it, since the laptop is outdated now I guess I will need to switch to the expensive cloud service but want to make sure I get a good device for it. Any suggestions of what to get or what not to get are greatly appreciated!

I am only familiar with what works well with Premiere Pro or After Effects, which require a more robust computer than for InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator. Hopefully somebody who uses  those apps will chime in here.

You can start here for absolute minimums:

Photoshop system requirements

System requirements | Adobe Illustrator

System requirements for Adobe InDesign CC for Mac and Windows OS

Same with me. The requirements regarding RAM or hard drive capacity are quite simple. However, I have difficulties in looking for a suitable processor and graphic card/chip. Thus, experiences from the community would be veeeery helpful...

    I appreciate that but I have looked at the technical requirments. I was looking for what others were using.

      What CC applications will you be using?

      That will make a big different as to what the "real life" hardware requirements are.
