If you are going into this professionally as you claim, you'll want to get more than a laptop. You'll want a very powerful desktop with the biggest monitor your poor little eyes can flutter. I get the advantages of a laptop over a desktop, but if you are truly going 'professional', then desktop is the ONLY way to go.

Disagree completely. I just did a workshop with 60+ photo students and 30+ professional team leaders/advisors, and the room where we did everything was a sea of silver Mac laptops. There were two desktop machines in the room, for no apparent reason. We were all running CS3, Lightroom, Final Cut Pro, etc. I've never felt the need for a desktop.
