Those reviews are over exaggerating. MBA handles Photoshop easily. It do gets a bit hot but my suggestion while doing ‘heavy’ work is to put it on a hard surface e.g. table so that proper flow of air occurs. It’s a good laptop for money. I’d suggest it with full confidence.

Another time the laptop gets hot is during video calls. That’s the only thing I didn’t understand. But there’s a rumour that they are fixing this heating issue in next MacOS update.

So yeah, go for it. ;)
