Need help deciding a laptop purchase..

[The Ren]

So I now have a Dell Dimensions 4500S, which I have had since 2002; my freshman year in college. Its time for me to upgrade after a virus problem gone bad and I need advice on which laptop is the best. I am really into pictures so I will definatly need alot of memory space... anyone?

idk much about computers, but my dad does lol. I have a HP Pavilion zx6000 i got a year ago. Im very happy with it. 15.4 wide screen. I got it when it was on sale for $750 i think. Dont remember all the specs thought, sorry

ummm if it's just basic internet use you can get just about anything. I like acer brand, toshiba, and IBM. If you like pictures and are going to be saving high resolution pics i'd go with a screen that's 15 - 15.4 and a 80 and up hard drive. about 512 RAM. and a processor from like 1.6ghz and up. ok and my price for that advice is 1 supra ;-) haha. gimme a minute and i'll throw some examples out for you.

Awesome.. your rock... I use photoshop alot and since I have my own business now I will be using money 06 for tax write offs and stuff so I need something that can hold alot of memory...

Concentrate on this and you pretty much can't go wrong. Just about every laptop on the market will be able to handle the requirements you've listed.

Photoshop requires a bit of processor power, so I would suggest an AMD processor. The HP dv6000 has one, and for $1300 you can have a dream laptop.

yuck.... should of gone apple macbook.... windows plus mac... even though the first rev are very buggy I'm gonna hold off for alittle and pick one up....

I have some very high end HP laptops with the full 3 year warranty that would rock, let me know if your interested, I can send you some specs...pm me.

since u run photoshop and money 06, 1gig of ram might be a better idea. just incase

ewww a gateway. gateways are like old supras. They look nice but for what ever reason run like shit. Shoulda waited for the dual core 64bit laptops. then you could have taken advantage of vista.

sony vaio or fujitsu lifebooks, both are pimp and lightweight.
