Question
I just got a new hp laptop, and ive been shopping around for photoshop on the internet, and ran into a portable version of photoshop cs5, and was wondering if that would be better to buy, or could i just go with the full version and not worrie about it slowing down my system? this is the 1st laptop ive owned, so i dont know much about how the memory handles large programs such as photoshop.

Answer
Emily,

There is no "portable" version of Photoshop so be wary of that. There are only full copies of PS and as long as your laptop meets or exceeds the published minimum system requirements you should be ok.

I have the fully licensed version on my laptop and it runs great.

Thanks

Kevin
