best laptop for photoshop

krustynutz

I want to buy a new laptop and the main thing it will be used for is
photo processing in Photoshop CS5
My current laptop is an Acer.. intel dual core 1.66mhz
2 meg ram and windows vista home..
The raw camera files are pretty huge... nearly 60mb per picture
and the current laptop often runs out of memory..

I do have a good desktop machine but need a laptop when travelling..

What is the best machine I can get for the above use, bearing in mind I have about £700 to spend

thankyou

Can you go a bit more? Refurbished Macbook pro under £1000 at Applestore UK. Or may be even cheaper at PC world in managers specials.
Macbooks were made for Photoshop.

And secondly the OP has a budget of £700.

Can you bump up you current laptop to 4Gb and replace the hard-drive with a 128Gb SSD? Running with plenty of memory and doing away with hammering a mechanical hard-disk should speed things up, likely much more than getting a faster processor.
