That's a really specific case. But the idea that a heavily multicore device with gigabytes of RAM is suitable only for "occasional, amateur editing" is just laughable.

Well, part of my argument was that this isn't really a very specific case: these days if you do any screen-targetting work that consists of many layers, you will have a very hard time doing it on 4GB RAM.

Built my flat mate a new computer last year for photoshop work. His files are huge. Full spec iMac at the time lagged like there’s no tomorrow. After building new pc and putting 64gb of ram, allocate enough to photoshop and opened up a 1gb psd which used to take over a minute to load. Was loaded in a few seconds and buttery smooth. Photoshop loves a good ssd and ram.
We're working on a 2D game. Some years ago, when PCs had lower amounts of RAM, games didn't even had to include full HD assets. These days you may even target 4K. While you're at such resolution already, you may even go a bit further and keep it at printable quality for easy marketing. This eats lots of resources, no iPad will be up to such task. It will work fine for occasional, amateur editing, with low resolutions and low amounts of layers, but definitely not in our professional case.
