Ram, storage, et al. I haven't the need - Lightroom does 99% of everything I need, no real bonus to the CC for what I'm doing. But I know several people who bought the CC package of Photoshop and Lightroom on the special of, what was it, $10/month or something like that around Christmas time. They seem to be pleased with it. How much computer you need depends upon both what you are trying to accomplish and on what your expectations are. The simple answer is "as much CPU, as much RAM, as much storage space as you can throw at it." But in practical terms, any recent Apple system with the faster variants of i5 and i7 processors, 4G RAM (8-16G preferable), and a big disk with 20-30% free space will do nicely. (I say Apple systems only because I don't keep track of non-Apple hardware or software.) I'd have no reservations using the package on my Mac mini, for instance (2.6Ghz i7-quad core, 16G RAM, 1T internal drive with 50% free space, connected to a Thunderbolt Display 27".)
