I believe that you have to LOOK at a laptop. Screen size and weight are everything.
IF you are a PC person, then get a PC... I recommend that you LOOK at the Toshiba, and not other brand. Check this out at a store that has an Easy Return policy. Try Wal-Mart and Costco. (Some stores charge a RESTOCKING fee).
If you are a MAC person, then get a MAC. Don't get it because you want a PC. Buy directly from a real APPLE store and LOOK then LEARN before you buy.
Good luck

A "Mac" is an Apple Macintosh computer:

The new systems (Intel CoreDuo) can run BOTH Apple and Windows operating systems.
A "PC" is the term used for "Personal Computers" running Microsoft Windows:

I have Windoze at work and Macs at home
A laptop at work is a Dell that had the hard drive die less than a year after purchase - Our Dell desktops have been more reliable (so far)...
CompUSA http://www.compusa.com/
carries both Apple and Windows systems -- I'd suggest going to take a test drive and talking to some people at the store. Unfortunately, not too many of the sales staff really know both systems, so keep asking around. Also talk to other photographers and find out what they have (and what they wish they had).
For Photos, the Mac is probably your best option - it comes with iPhoto and Adobe PhotoShop is pretty much native to Macs. It also can run a large variety of software: http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/; http://www.apple.com/software/
There are two MacBook options - MacBook and MacBook Pro:

If your main focus for using a laptop is photos, I highly suggest a Mac. The Macbook Pro isnt that good from what I've heard, try a different model.

You need a mac. Especially with the new processors they have in MacBook, they are untouchable as reliable, simple, multitasking machines. They can do both PC and Mac applications and operating systems, so you don't have to worry about things being untraslatable. Go Mac, I've been Macintosh my whole life. They got me through high school and college.

My nephew put me into a new acer laptop after I had done a investigating on my own. It is fabulous!! The brother MFC 5440 colour or black and white printer/ scanner /fax/ copier is unbelievable. He certainly set his uncle into an excellent system for my business and my personal email etc.

if you use computer only when you are home. i prefer desktop computer. because it's faster than than laptop and durable. you can leave it on 24 hours a day it won't be broken. and i think it's easier to be fixed. everything is more convenient than a laptop except's not portable.

gently Used laptops off of ebay are usually cheap in price and pretty nice to use.
