Apparently not. You device was released post Catalina. The application is apparently only compatible with High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina. See here: Minimum system requirements for Photoshop - Photoshop 21.x - Adobe

Hi chii0330,


Your Mac may technically be able to run Photoshop, but I don't think it's going to run too well. The Intel processor in your Mac is unfortunately quite hot and inefficient, and it will probably get thermal throttled quickly due to the poor cooling system inside.


You might want to consider upgrading to the M1 or M2 MacBook Air. Those chips are much more powerful and cooler, with longer battery life. They offer a huge leap forward from Intel-based Macs.
