Photoshop - Which Macs Are Compatible?

David Hardy
Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard tool for working with digital images of any kind.
 
Photoshop has a tremendous breadth of uses in various industries ranging from photographers to graphic artists. The program is so flexible, it is is used for both adjusting photographs and creating graphic elements.
 
We are often asked which Macs are suitable for use with Photoshop.
 
The minimum recommended specs for Macs are 8GB RAM, OS Big Sur or later (2014 onwards). Graphics Card - GPU with Metal support or
1.5 GB of GPU memory.
 
The recommended specs for heavy use are macOS Big Sur (version 11), 16 GB RAM or more and a Graphics Card with GPU with Metal support
4 GB of GPU memory for 4k displays and greater.
 
The storage for both is very much dependent on how many pictures you want to store but you can also get an external hard drive.
 
This means all of our 14, 15 and 16 inch MacBook Pro's, most of our 27 inch iMacs and the 21 inch iMacs from 2017 with 4K Display are compatible.

“Great communication from this company after I made a mistake putting in my delivery address. They called me within a few hours to double check and sorted it out straight away. Super quick postage and item was brand new as described! Thanks” – Josh H

“It has been a pleasure to deal with Dave at Cheshire Macs. His advice, professional knowledge and customer focused manner resulted in me purchasing a refurbished IMac 24". It was described as 'as new' and it was exactly that. In fact the only difference between it, and a brand new one, was about £700. Highly recommended for their honest approach, exemplary service, careful packing and prompt next day delivery. Thank you, I am very impressed.” - Pat

Not Sure Which Mac is Right for You?

David Hardy

When approaching the decision of which Mac is right for you, there are lot of elements to consider. It is important that you invest time in making the right decision. This will offer great reward when you make the right choice. However, the opposite can be said if you make the wrong choice.

We specialise in guiding you through this selection process. This allows you to get to the point where you are confident in your selection. We have created a page solely dedicated to run through the different aspects of purchasing a Mac. However, we realise that it is important to have someone to speak to. You may find enough information and guidance on this page. But if not, call our helpful, informed and professional staff to get that bit of extra guidance needed.

Which Mac?

Our guide is broken down into different users including home/ personal use, school / college use and professional use. Macs have an incredible reputation. A reputation that in some cases can sell an item purely based on this fact. Did you know that all of our MacBooks and iMacs are sold with free next day delivery, 12-month warranty and that we can take your old Mac in part exchange?

Our humble business has an unrivalled passion for refurbishing Macs. This is complimented with a real desire to be the best in our industry through hard work, a professional service and highest-quality products for our customers.

At CheshireMacs, we take great pride in the special bond we build with each client as they embark on their journey with us. It is our privilege to be able to share our knowledge and utilize our expertise to help guide our customers in the right direction.

One of our clients commented:
“Just received my 27" imac. Wow its like a brand new machine. Thank you Dave for all your help on purchasing it. I would highly recommend CheshireMacs. They were so helpful on the phone and on email, nothing was to much trouble. As other people have said why pay high prices when you can get an almost new machine from them.” – Pete Skinner
