- A: AnswerThe M2 chip will handle Lightroom and Photoshop fine, but depending on the level of your work and size of your files the 8GB memory may not be enough. I have a fully loaded 14" MacBook Pro M1 with 64GB memory that I use for Lightroom and Photoshop. I bought the MacBook Air M2 8GB for my wife and I am astonished at how fast it is, but I haven't attempted my full workload on it.
