UCLA - desktop vs laptop for running cs4

<p>I want to be able to run adobe cs4 programs on my dorm computer, but the desks at ucla don’t have a whole lot of room for a powerful desktop. is there a laptop powerful enough to run say after effects cs4 or should i go with a desktop computer? (note: i’m definitely going with a PC)</p>

<p>Depends which parts of cs4 you want to run. I can run photoshop cs3 perfectly fine on my dell (2.1GHz Processor, 4GB RAM, 64-Bit OS) and Premier and After Effects run well enough but I haven’t done any really big projects on this laptop so I don’t know how well it’ll work. CS4 appears to have the same requirements as CS3</p>
