    I plan to install the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 (Master Collection) on the XPS M1530 (when I order it later this month). Anybody else running some of the more resource intensive applications in this suite on an XPS M1530: After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop Extended, etc.?

    Am I smoking something to think this would be anything other than painful?

    lol

    I Run all those programs and pretty much any other program you can name from Maya to Cinema 4D.. All flawless on my 1520.. And it ain't no hobbiest crap, more along the lines of the high end professional level..

    Although if you plan to start throwing around uncompressed HD video files, you may want to invest in a desktop.. That's the only time things get over this machines head.

    So if you configure you're m1530 like my 1520 or better then you'll be laughing.
