Here are the stats... HP Pavillion DV-7 1245 17" Laptop. 4GB of RAM. I also added a second Hard Drive for added storage of 250GB in addition to the 320GB Hard Drive that is factory installed. In addition to all the preloaded software that comes with this laptop you will get instructions to download and Product Keys to activate Microsoft Office Standard 2007 and Norton 360 which has about 280 days of protection left. You will also be getting the following accessories added to this laptop: - Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse - Targus Chill Mat and Hub. (Angled platform for laptops and a chill pad with 2 fans to keep the laptop cool) - SimpleTech 120GB External Hard Drive This is an excellent buy and should not be turned down or missed.

1. Yes, this computer will Photoshop CS4 just fine. Just look at the ram needed for CS4, I'm sure your way over what's minimum.
2. I would say so.
3. Whoa! im pretty sure it will run pretty fast! it topped off the recomended setting for the photoshop cs4. You might wanna get a higher viedo graphics card probably that has 512mb of video ram.
4. i don't think it will run smoothly. the Turion X2 RM series has too little L2 cache memory and the graphics card HD 3200 is also low end. my suggestion for a laptop in an equivalent price category would be this Toshiba A305 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9164343&type=product&id=1218040476937 it has a smaller screen of 15.4" but the CPU (C2D T6400) and the graphics card Radeon HD 3650 will do the job.
