Totally concur. I use several of Adobe design suites including PS CS3 and LR2. Do max out on main memory (4 GB up preferred), and a large capacity drive with min 7200 RPM (may be hard to find for laptops). Be sure the laptop supports an external flat panel monitor (like a 24").
I will go with AMD (dollar for dollar; given same performance)
