What lap top is best to buy?

I would go with this laptop it has a very powerful CPU(P8700) and VERY powerful GPU(Nvidia 130M) lots of ram and nice screen. It will run photoshop like a its nothing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220646

you have a Mac.. USE IT!!! Macs are specifically for these purposes.. Video editing, photo altering, graphic creating.. etc, etc ,etc... I seriously recommend a Macbook...

I would recommend that you should go for a refurbished laptop which is really awesome and great in working too Check this out the website hope this will work

LG is a good brand, Samsung sucks, but you should check Dell

samsung is WAY BETTER, lg is just bad and it will not last that long

go with dell ;)

get what the best deal is offered

Try looking on NewEgg for something with: Core2Duo CPU 4GB of RAM 250+ GB hard drive 802.11n (it will probably say like "WiFi N" or "802.11b/g/n") NVidia dedicated graphics Here's a good search to get you started: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=32&Description=&Type=&N=2034940032&srchInDesc=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&Manufactory=10772&Manufactory=1312&Manufactory=1301&Manufactory=1077&Manufactory=1315&Manufactory=11447&Manufactory=2180&Manufactory=1186&Manufactory=1259&Manufactory=10418&PropertyCodeValue=393%3A37214&PropertyCodeValue=393%3A23203&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A11103&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A44336&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A44053&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A47846&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A16356&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A18071&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A14800&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A40014&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A49551&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A6691&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A6696&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A6690&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A6694&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A20811&PropertyCodeValue=398%3A48346&PropertyCodeValue=400%3A18072&PropertyCodeValue=400%3A43771&PropertyCodeValue=400%3A6718&PropertyCodeValue=400%3A40986&PropertyCodeValue=400%3A6710&PropertyCodeValue=400%3A40015&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A40028&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A44835&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A46995&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A46992&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A48903&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A49211&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A48928&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A38059&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A48515&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A43898&PropertyCodeValue=402%3A45112&PropertyCodeValue=2923%3A18470&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A27789&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A28503&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A33097&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A31750&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A43779&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A24679&PropertyCodeValue=406%3A42869&PropertyCodeValue=410%3A10743&PropertyCodeValue=410%3A44102&PropertyCodeValue=424%3A26910&PropertyCodeValue=443%3A6963 And the first (cheapest) result is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146584 I personally think that's a damned good computer for the price.

►About LG R510 I'd recommend the following upgrades ============================ Display 15.4inch WSXGA+(1680x1050) *Fine Bright Technology Graphics NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GS (DDR2 512MB VRAM), (optional.. but it would be a lot better) http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/r510.jhtml ======================================… ►About Samsung Smaller screen,lower resolution and no upgrade option in their website Display► (14.1" Flat-LED WXGA (1280 x 800)◄ http://www.samsung.com/ae/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=computersperipherals&type=laptops&subtype=xseries&model_cd=NP-X460-AS01AE&fullspec=F =============== =============== =============== =============== ►►►The processor, ram and all the rest in both the laptops are quite fine for your specific needs. =============== =============== =============== =============== ►For photoshop work the best display panel/screen is what you want (along with the fast processors, ram, graphics etc..) If you are serious about working on photoshop(like a professional or something) get a laptop with a bigger display screen. A few things you have to look for would be.. 1)Pitch size (The lowest is preferred) 2)Contrast Ratio (The highest is preferred) 3)Wide viewing angle (You might have to contact the techs or the manufacturer for this info) =============== =============== =============== =============== About different brands and models I'd rather leave the choice to you instead of speculating here. =============== =============== =============== =============== And Finally do check out the benchmarks, performance, value for money etc before you buy a laptop http://www.notebookcheck.net/ Hope this info was useful... Good luck..
