A colleague’s student son needs a laptop. His only requirement, in terms of power, is to be able to run Photoshop without too much creaking and groaning.

MacBook Pro. Never need worry about it breaking, or the operating system falling apart.

Personally, I would buy a more or less ordinary notebook, and load it with 2 or 3 Gb or memory. The Dell Inspiron 1501 at $500 is a better notebook than the one I use everyday for Photoshop – very useable when you add an external monitor and the free MSVDM multi-desktop.

Do load it to the gills with memory, but don’t buy your memory from the manufacturer – too pricey. Get your notebook with the minimum amount of memory, and upgrade with 3rd party memory from a place like www.satech.com . —

Will the basic graphics hardware suffice or will a powerful card be necessary?

Might also consider an external -=large=- HD as many of the small laptop HD’s just don’t stand the heavy access. Toshiba being the worst.

Circuit City has a 250 GB external USB for under $80.

If it has Vista or even factory installed XP, your best bet is to clean install a virgin copy of XP. This will cut out all the peripheral OS crapware installed by most laptop manufacturers.
