Is a fully specceed Macbook Pro / iMac really not enough for her? This thing looks way too overpowered

  She always wants more power. I tried to get her to divide her giant Illustrator files into smaller ones, but I haven't been successful so far. But ya, we aren't getting this, too expensive :).

  Never underestimate the ability of Adobe to make a computer feel slow. I'm a user and fan of their Premiere and Illustrator products, but I believe they need to invest a lot more energy into: 1 - making their stuff crash less often! and 2 - optimizing some of the unreasonably slow features. In a way, ever more powerful computers like this have enabled Adobe to stay lazy. But it is what it is, and at the end of the day an extra $1500 to not hate life every time you try to pan around in a piece of art is worth it.

    I do some video editing to make goofy videos for friends On a whim I tried out the latest version of Adobe Premiere (I normally just use Sony Vegas, or "Vegas Pro" as it's now called) On an i7-4790 with 16 gigs of memory, a GTX 970 and an SSD, Vegas loads in roughly 5-6 seconds Premiere took roughly a minute, and rendered the entire system unusable while it loaded! after loading, just sitting at an empty main screen, it was consuming a monstrous 8GB of memory all by itself Vegas by contrast, even when I shovel Blu Ray videos into it, barely peaks above 1.5GB, and I'm able to multi-task even while rendering

      who needs to write more efficient software when hardware manufacturers ensure your slow code automatically gets faster year after year? oh and when you've already cornered the market and become an industry standard
