Itd be using dreamweaver, photoshop and Premiere 1.5 pro on it. Do you think its powerful enough?
Do you think its a good deal for $1,050?
Sorry to be a killjoy. IMO that is plain not enough horse-power for the apps you've named. That means if you have multiple apps open or head to any files of size, the machine is going to bog down cause it will have to page swap. Plus you'll be more prone to errors and OS decay. If that's the budget and you just have to go that way, suggest you run defrag often and power the cycle the computer once in awhile. Since it is a laptop, you'd do that part anyway I suspect. That will keep things as orderly as possible.

Best of luck to ya and enjoy the new toy. I'd spec out a laptop that cost more than twice that much for the apps. The half gig ram is the first problem btw.
