Will a Intel Pentium quad-core N3700 1.6 (2.4 GHz turbo burst) run current photoshop and lightroom ? I know I5 and I7 woul

It could technicaly run the software but performance will be poor. You cpu is based on the bay trail architecture and is much slower than any core series cpu. Even a mid range amd cpu would do a better job. I do not know exactly how much this cpu costs, but i know its cheap. If you are planning on doing any serious work on this machine gat a better cpu.
