Laptop for Photoshop and Lightroom

[NathanKing]

While no laptop is ideal for color critical work my experience has been that Macbooks are much closer to "correct" out of the box than other brands I have experience with. It's pretty much impossible to calibrate a laptop screen, so being close from the factory counts for quite a bit.

Other than that I would stick with a minimum of 8GB of RAM and a 2.5 GHz i5 processor. I started my business with a 1.8GHz i5 and 4GBs of RAM. Things get slow when you're adding 50+ brush strokes in Lightroom or 15+ layers in Photoshop.
