This is the cream of the crop! You can watch a DVD and run photoshop like its a joke. No laptop is made better trust me I even applied for a job 5 years ago with Alienware they r insane!

It's a good choice, although the processor might be a little slow if you run multiple applications at the same time.

Yes is a good choice image processing. Im using CS6 and other image manipulation programs works perfectly. I dont have too much experience with recording device. But, it has a well recognized audio card on it.

This is as close to a desktop as you can get with a laptop(well Falcon but pricier). This should easily handle everything you listed. I would suggest a solid state drive as well if you are concerned about power and speed.

I'm a concept artist and automotive photographer. When it comes to editing In Photoshop or modeling in Maya or 3DS max my Alienware has never let me down as far as performance goes. But when editing on the road it's a good idea to have an electricity source nearby since using those applications drains the battery in about an hour. Overall I give it an 11 out of 10

If you want to record live audio it would would be good to have, but you don't essentially need it to work the application. You are also able to just program notes into ProTools manually with pre-recorded instruments they give you.

I've been using it mainly for gaming, but yes, it is good for other programs like Photoshop. It's great for storing long macro sequences in each key.

You can do it, but I haven't managed to get it to work. I'm not a technophobe, but I found the Audacity software very complex with so many audio options to control during recording that I gave up. I hope to get back to it at some point, but it's not plug & play. My two cents.

Yes! It works EXCELLENT with design programs. I edit videos and photographs and it runs so smoothly with the programs.

You can certainly run Photoshop, but I can't tell you about Illustrator since I've never used it.

Sorry not exactly sure what are the requirements for photoshop software you will be using, certainly this is an i7 4Gen laptop, should be able to run any programs on it, if you are currently using a laptop and you have used the same applications with that many pictures and works fine, then with newer models you shouldn't have any problem. We would also recommend to find more info online.Thank you,

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.

I use it for production in video and multi-track recording. It's a pretty hefty audio device and it will handle anything you throw at it. It will diminish your latency to basically zero, so you should be happy with it.

Yes, it sounds great but I would suggest tweaking audio in Pro Tools or Logic Pro for optimal audio. Final Cut Pro has some audio enhancements that work pretty well, but you're limited on the control you have.

Yes you will need software ware to run this program works best with Photoshop!

Audacity is free sound mixing/editing software. It's fairly good for basic recording and (being free) is much less expensive then any Sony product.

This computer is built for media and graphics. It should run photoshop with no problems.

i use mine as a home recording studio, so you should be able to play this no problem.

Without a doubt. Yes. I did however add an Nvidia video card to the computer with 2GB of Ram. Other than that the computer has handled everything I've thrown at it from video editing (HD) to full blown audio studio recording with Native Instruments Komplete, Camel Audio Alchemy, FL Studio, Ableton Live and more... can't go wrong with these guys.

The unit comes with Audacity shareware/software but will work with most audio software. You can manipulate the files as wave, mp3 or as needed for your purpose. Save to file then load into whatever you require.
