Is it appropriate to ask a question about Photoshop and computers here?

[igiftcenter]

Just wondering if it's appropriate to ask a question about using photoshop to create graphics here in this forum and the computer resources necessary to do it?  I'll wait to here your reply and if it's not appropriate moderator please remove my post

It has been done in the past without a problem. I use Photoshop. Maybe I can answer your question.

All this to assist me in designing graphics and editing photos for my Zazzle work

I just preordered a Lenovo Slim 7x and added ram to give it 32 gb of LPDDR5X ram. Should that be enough to confidently run Photoshop and AI features. If it's any help in answering the question here are the basic spec of the laptop: don't ask me what all these mean... I am only vaguely familiar

Snapdragon Elite X processor - 1 TB SSD M.2 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe - OLED Display - Qualcom Adreno GPU
I'm running PS CS6 and have never used Adobe CC online
My old laptop has 8 Gb of ram and is sometimes struggling or taking really long to save graphic files and runs out of memory at least once a day.

I am running 32GB RAM and it is plenty. No lag whatsoever with Photoshop CC's AI features. My previous Surface had 16GB and it was lagging a lot and sometimes crashing if I had many layers. That's why I upgraded to 32 GB and am glad to see you did too.

I am a very long time photoshop/Mac user, but would suggest you post your questions on the photoshop forum. Mention the version of photoshop and also what computer, system version etc. That would get  other users who can help you. Also you will probably find  questions/answers similar to yours.

Wouldn't the "External Tools & Materials" forum be the place to discuss Photoshop? Of course, it should be in reference to using it for Zazzle designing.

I will let the moderator determine if it's more appropriate there.... I fully support whatever they decide is the appropriate forum or even if they decide to remove the post altogether

Yes, that is the correct board for questions like this.

External tools and materials board? However, I think we cannot change the board, once a question is posted ...
