FWIW, I have PSE 6 on my Acer 10.1" and it works just fine, despite some of the negativity found here. I am addicted to Adobe Camera Raw so will not switch to one of the knockoffs that use an inferior Raw processor. Camera Raw is the only part of the program that gripes about the resolution but it still works. You just have to use keyboard shortcuts for some functions because the bottom of the screen is cut off and you can't see the "OK" button.

I do recommend bumping up the RAM. On the Acer, it took all of 3 minutes to replace the 1 GB chip with a 2. Now I can keep Elements, FastStone Viewer and Tiffen Dfx open at the same time. Works great.

If you do load up Elements, just disable the photo Loader and any other background apps so it will not hog computer resources.
