Question from suzie: Asked on 15/04/2011 can the acer 5742 core i5 handle adobe photoshop, and other graphic design programmes, would the graphics card be efficent

Answer from Ross : Answered on 15/04/2011
This model does not have a dedicate Graphics card so may struggle to run graphic applications. Does it need to have the i5 processor? I would personally go with the 5553G model as this has a dedicated Graphics chipset as well as 6GB Ram.
