Can a 2.1GHz MacBook handle Adobe Flash, Illustrator and Photoshop?

Adobe Software
I am going to be a college freshman this fall, and am looking for a new computer. In high school I took a design graphics class where we used the Adobe software, and I really enjoyed it a lot. I can buy the software at a steeply discounted price through my university. However, I can only afford the cheapest version of the MacBook, and I was wondering if the 2.1GHz MacBook would be capable of running this software efficiently. Again, I’m interested in Adobe Flash, Illustrator and Photoshop, all CS3.

Yes it can.

Yes, it can handle all these programs,; all of the macbooks are great and perfect for graphics software. However, I would suggest purchasing an external hard drive (at least 80gb) to save all of your design files. The files produced by adobe programs can get pretty big and clutter your hard drive. If you save them to an external hard drive, you’ll have more space on your computer and it will help you stay organized. Good luck in the fall!
