I believe it was me. I was referring to a configured HP dv6000t that I have had for almost year and a half now. I had read people complaining about its seemingly loose keys.. and although I must admit they 'feel' flaky after long usage, they are pretty solid and dont come out. |

I'm not too sure who makes it, but when I was pricing computers it's specs were better than some of the $4000+ computers. I had them custom some of the things in it, and in the end it was around $2800, but the thing rocks.
I got it for school stuff, but sadly to say I use it more for my photography and games. ;) |

| We've had 3 acers, and lots of problems with them. Currently have an HP, and i love it. Dell sucks on laptops, though their desktops are okay. I love my iMac, though, and next laptop will be a PowerMac. Hubby already has one, and i'm jealous. |

Apple is coming out with a new version of the Power Mac. Similar keyboard as the Mac Air. For creative work such as photography I would definitely personally only go for a Mac.
In our house we have a Mac Pro, Mac Air, Mac TV, Mac 1TB Time Capsule, iPod and Iphone. Everything works together like a dream and we can access all of our photography wirelessly from all devices. It's a dream to be able to work on a picture in bed on the laptop if I like or at my desk with the powerful Mac Pro without copying files or using memory sticks, |

Vista should be fine. You can get vista64 (and absolutely should) for free from MS as a download if your laptop comes with the 32 bit version. PS/CS4 and more programs can make use of it and if you have more than 3Gb of RAM you need a 64 bit OS.
Most laptops have poor video - in performance, RAM and their LCDs are not designed for editing photos and can be hard to calibrate. If you can plug in a second LCD that can be calibrated that would be best - dual screens! But on my (older, lower end) HP it can't calibrate two monitors seperately so that makes one VERY ugly.

I think you meant the MacBook Pro.. The PowerMac and the PowerBook are in the museum. |
