Can Surface Go 2 Run Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:34 pm

The Surface Go 2 is a great choice for those who want a smaller, more portable device that can still handle most of their computing needs. One question that many have is whether or not the Surface Go 2 can run Photoshop.

The short answer is yes, but there are some caveats.

The Surface Go 2 is powered by an Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y processor. This processor is slower than the processors found in more expensive Surface devices, but it is still fast enough to run Photoshop without any major issues. One thing to keep in mind is that the Surface Go 2 has only 4GB of RAM, so you may need to upgrade to 8GB if you plan on using Photoshop for more demanding tasks.

PRO TIP: While Surface Go 2 can run Photoshop, we would not recommend using it as your primary device for running the program. Photoshop is a resource-intensive program and Surface Go 2 may not be able to handle the demands of running it smoothly.

The Surface Go 2 also has a smaller screen than other Surface devices, so you may find it more difficult to edit photos on this device. However, if you connect an external monitor, you should be able to use Photoshop without any problems.

Overall, the Surface Go 2 is a great choice for those who want a small and portable device that can still handle most of their computing needs. If you plan on using Photoshop, you may need to upgrade to 8GB of RAM and connect an external monitor.
