Can the 15 inch macbook pro from 2010 run Adobe CS5 or C56?

I'm looking at these two macbooks,I use Adobe CS5 for graphics and some times video editing and just wanted to know which one will be better? Also, I wanted to know if the latest iPad will be good enough for graphic design/ digital art?


Apple MacBook Pro MC371LL/A Notebook
Intel Core i5 520M(2.40GHz)
15.4" Wide XGA+
4GB DDR3 Memory
320GB HDD 5400rpm
DVD±R/RW
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M


or

Apple MD101LL/A 2.5 GHz
13.3" MacBook Pro (New 2012 Model)
4GB Memory 500GB HDD
Intel HD Graphics 4000

or

iPad 4 Generation

Both machines should be able to run the Adobe software. The 15" machine will be slower but does have a discrete graphics chipset. However, the 2012 13" uses the latest Intel HD 4000 integrated chipset which is a good performer. I personally would choose the newer machine.

You asked about the iPad4. While it's certainly the fastest iPad yet, I don't think it's well suited for graphic design or digital artwork. The 9" retina display is fantastic but it may be too small for the kind of work you intend to do.

If I were a graphic designer, I would choose the new 27" iMac. ;D
