My partner is a graphic designer who loathed her 13" macbook that her work got her. She finally got an upgrade to a 16", i9, 64 gigs of ram.

It runs adobe software like total shit.

I think it's something to do with Catalina + accessing files in Google Drive File Stream + Adobe.

It runs illustrator horribly.

It's basically the saddest thing I've ever seen.

I think I'll get her a 17" XPS for christmas this year.

For what it's worth, I have _never_ had good luck with "big vendor" software (like Adobe) and using any sort of synced cloud-based filestore. I have had untold issues with things and as soon as I moved files local, everything magically went away. Might try that!

You can also set the relevant folders to keep the files always available offline.

Any third-party antivirus or other corporate compliance-ware? Google FS and AV don't work so well together.
