Acer
Celeron M 1.5 Ghz
512MB RAM
80GB HD
DVD-RW
3-hours battery life
17" widescreen


For $780, thats an OK laptop, but not powerful enough for high-end programs like Photoshop. Celeron wont cut it for photo/video editing. For a student, that is an awesome deal!

photoshop will run fine on it. Photoshop ran well on my Pentium 3 500 + TNT2 system

Yeah, Photoshop has some really low system requirements. I used to run Photoshop CS on my old AMD k6-2 266mhz CPU with 128 mb ram.

well i think that should be a decent laptop.

My mom has a Toshiba Satellite M70 1.7 GHZ Celeron M.
512MB RAM
60GB HD
15.3" screen

has photoshop currently installed, its actually quite fast.
I dont know if having less Ghz makes a difference?

[Lord AnthraX]

yes thats a nice laptop but its not good for gaming at all

Dell Inspiron E1505

Dell Home Systems Inspiron E1505 is a laptop powered with Intel Dual Core processor, DDR2 Dual Channel memory and 15.4-inch Ultrasharp SXGA+ widescreen LCD display with TrueLife. The notebook aims to deliver quality entertainment experience beside unbeatable productivity.

After review, NotebookReview said “The Dell Inspiron e1505 is a fairly run-of-the mill notebook for a bargain price, but it offers a few surprises. The 2 GHz Core Duo CPU is rockin’ fast. Even with this performance, battery life was impressive, and 5+ hours should be possible with the optional 9-cell battery. My only real gripe is with the screen. The slight shimmer, light leakage, and brightness that seems like it’s turned down half a notch make it fall behind other notebooks. Still, the screen is better than most bargain notebooks, and better than anything from a few years ago. It’s also very sharp and high resolution. This, along with the nice keyboard, makes for a positive ergonomic experience.”

Pros:

Top-Notch computing performance in non-3D applications
Awesome for multi-taskers
Very respectable battery life
Quiet under normal use
Mostly cool running
Good keyboard
Surprisingly good speakers

Cons:

Build quality could be improved some.
Not available with high end graphics (yet?), must get spendier XPS line for that.
Best of three available screens is not that great.
No non-glossy option for high resolution or expanded viewing angle.
