The system requirements for Lightroom is *officially* quad core, but I find that finding quad core CPUs for Chromebooks is really tricky unless you go to the super-premium range; in fact, it is probably easier just to go with a Windows 10 machine for quad-core CPUs. Presumably this is because the vast majority of work done on Chromebooks don't require quad-cores.
However, Adobe has released a version of Lightroom for Android. This is not their full-fledged app for PCs, but a lighter version that works in the cloud. Yet, even for this version, the official specs still say quad-core and 4GB ram is required. I can actually find budget chromebooks with 4 or even 8GB ram, but there seem to be none satisfying the quad-core requirement.
My question is: has anyone actually tried running Lightroom mobile on a dual core processor? Does it run acceptably? I don't want to have to get a super-pricey Chromebook just for this one app, so if I can make do with a dual-core, I would prefer it.
