[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1365747, member: 51052"] I generally do a lot of photo-manipulation, multiple images open (generally not 30, but with panoramas etc it's a possibility), generally as tiffs from Lr, multiple layers and smart objects etc. It runs (well ran) as well as it did in snow leopard on the same 11mbp. Runs better now that I plunked in 16gb's. That said, I work mostly in Photoshop and Illustrator. I don't do web dev, so no need for any of those apps. One of the things that remains constant in life is this.. People complain more than they praise. It's human nature, which also means you tend to hear more bad than good about things. Lion does have a higher minimum RAM requirement than Snow Leopard though, so as always.. if you don't have plenty of overhead available for use.. you'll notice it. The best way to know for sure, given your workload and method, is to build a separate Lion partition and try it. [/QUOTE]
