Microsoft Surface Pro3 4gb RAM i5 enough for art?

Thinking about getting a Surface Pro 3 i5 and the 128gb, with 4gb RAM, is the most attractive one for my price range.

Only issue I m having in deciding is, will 4gb RAM be enough to run Adobe Suite programs like photoshop, illustractor, and after effects smoothly without any hiccups?

I ll only be using the surface for graphic design work and art.

My previous laptop was a MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) with 8gb RAM, non SSD.

    128gb will fill up really fast doing art files and 4gb is definitely towards the minimum i would recommend for doing something like this.

    I would save for something else, the 128 gb is too small imo.

    The surface is a waste of money.way over priced and the storage is not large enough. I suggest looking at a 13 inch ultrabook.Contact me if you need more help.jdbj32m@yahoo.com

    its enough ..unless you work with something 3D specially in after effects and premier. but having a graphics card of atleast 1GB is better,
