The release of Apple Silicon-native versions of Illustrator and InDesign follow Adobe’s March release of an M1-native version of Photoshop. “With the launch of Apple’s new line of Macs and Macbooks, running on the Silicon M1 chip, we made it a top priority to optimize all Creative Cloud apps-Illustrator and InDesign included-to run seamlessly in this new environment.”

“With so many designers around the world relying on Illustrator and InDesign every day to help them create and express themselves, we know speed and performance are key,” Adobe’s Jasmine Whitaker notes. I believe that waiting a while will be rewarded significantly in terms of hardware that really meets your needs, less “issues” with MacOS, and ARM-native applications.Adobe announced today that it has successfully ported Illustrator and InDesign to Apple Silicon for native compatibility with M1-based Macs. Rumors are that more heavy duty configurations of the Mx-based MacBook Pro with larger screens, more memory, and larger SSDs are on the horizon. I think that most InDesign users and especially those users who are simultaneously running multiple applications (such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat in addition to InDesign, not to mention some type of mail client and browsers) would recommend at least 32GB of memory. Insufficient Memory – These initial models support only 8GB and 16GB versions of the M1 chip and this memory is shared between a number of components on the M1 chip. You would definitely need an external screen for either of these 13.x" systems to be at all usable. Even a 15" or 16" Intel-based MacBook Pro is cutting it close.

The MacBook Pro has a 13" screen, neither of which are reasonable for the type of work you are planning. Small screens – The MacBook Air has a 13.3" screen. Beyond resolving both operating system and application problems (and synchronization of same), the current M1 chip-based computers have two severe limitations that are fairly problematic for serious graphic arts production: That having been said, I personally believe that unless you are primarily looking for bragging rights about having “the latest and greatest” new toy from Cupertino, it might be prudent to wait a while until at least the next round of models are unleashed by Apple. No date has been announced yet for such releases. Adobe is actively working to make versions of all current applications that are native to the ARM processor which is part of Apple's M1 and future “computer on a chip” systems.
