Will an i5 laptop be suitable for Adobe CC?

[Parithian]

Hi All,

 

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have my main editing workstation that I use for the brunt of my content creation work, photoshop and premiere mainly (i7 4770, GTX 1060, 16gb ram etc...)

 

I need a new laptop for work but have quite a tight budget under NZD $1000, I would be doing mainly photoshop work, web design and spreadsheets but I would like to keep the option open of having premiere usable encase my desktop is out of action ever.

 

Would an i5 with the appropriate amounts of ram and an SSD handle premiere? I've only ever worked using the i7 so have no experience outside of this.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

wait for cannonlake (announcement is 21st of august), the u series CPUs should have quad core varients.

 

otherwise, you can get a i5 7300HQ right now and it would be preform quite well I hope in CPU

 

edit: i5 7200u gets something like 300CB, from my previous laptop.

It's not good enough when you have a desktop like this to compare to.

covfefe lake and keklake are hard to differentiate in my head, ok.

Thanks for the advice! I'll hold off on buying a laptop until then.

 

In terms of quad core performance vs that of hyper threading will the i5 be okay with timeline scrubbing and what not? I'm not to fussed about render times as its for work an I get payed to sit there anyways.

Yes it will be fine. i have a tablet pc with a Core i5-6200U 8gb RAM and i've never had any issues with it and regularly have files with 50+ layers at around 3000x4000px on photoshop CS6.

Get a quad core model like i5 7300HQ or i7 7700HQ, don't get ULV CPUs (IMO they are suck)
