Which Notebook to work on Photoshop

[xhan]

Persnally I hate glossy screens. Nearly all laptops come in widescreen nowadays, mines 15inch widescreen which is better because you get more viewing space. I would get 15" or less if its a notebook your getting otherwise its too big to move around comfortably.

I'm recommending Macbook pro but you could say I'm slightly biased!

I've finally got my mac working with the CS3 suite properly and just got more memory. 2gig wasn't enough....I needed 4. My wife tells me Im overcompensating or something...I dont know I wasn't listening.
Now to get everything the way I like it. i also got aperture which looks like its going to be a nice app for my photos.

Actually, if you do the math (I did), a wide-screen display is actually smaller than a regular display of the same diagonal length. For example, a 17" wide-screen (16:10 aspect ratio) monitor has less display area than a 17" regular (4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratio) monitor. A 17" wide-screen monitor has roughly the same display area as a 16" regular monitor. And a 17" regular monitor has roughly the same display area as an 18" wide-screen monitor. By the way, I own both a wide-screen monitor (17" 1920x1200 16:10) and a regular monitor (20" 1600x1200 4:3).

Thanks for all your tips.

The final decision: Dell Inspiron 1720 Platinum / Intel Core DuoT7300
2084 Mb RAM / 17 inch widescreen 1920 X 1200 / Nvidia GeForce GO 8600 /
2 X 160 Gb.

Use a CRT, LCDs are nearly useless for photo editing.

Very nice choice. I wish I had the money for something like that. Fortunately my brother had used dell worth about $1000 that he was selling for $600 because he was upgrading.

Edit: So I just went through dell and found the price on your exact notebook and DANG!! I am not even close to having enough to buy that!
