[QUOTE="JudeIscariot, post: 170505, member: 15275"] I'm gonna have to disagree with an above comment: Don't go AlienWare. Save your money. AW is overpriced for what you get. They are Dell-owned and you can get a Dell-named system with the same exact stuff for cheaper. As for what to get, I don't know. An i5 will probably run photoshop smoothly if you have 4GB of RAM, I imagine. I have an i7 and 6GB and I've opened 150 NEF files at once in Adobe RAW and then opened most of them into PS. It took nearly 4GB of memory to have them all open at once, but it was still easy to work with. And that's 150 images all opened at once from RAW. An i5 should be good enough for your needs... I can't recommend anything though because you want something small and I don't really like anything below 15.5". I love my 17" laptop personally... [/QUOTE]
