depends, do you do video encoding, gaming or do you just want a basic laptop that you can store photos on?

heres some stats that i would recomend.
250GB Hard Drive (5200 RPM) - will hold a fair few photos. - 500GB for extreme amounts of photos 1.5 - 2 GHZ Processor OR 2.33 + GHZ if you are doing a lot of photoshop. 2GB DDR2 RAM thats just your basic stats for viewing, editing, storing photos :) |

2GB of RAM on a machine that's going to be doing a ton of high-res photos? I would look into that first and the CPU second.

i have not been told how large the photos are and according the the average image size thats what i think... if they the images are hi res i would have 3GB RAM (anything more on a 32 bit system is useless, unless you had 64bit...)
then again my computer copes very well with hi res photos with 2gb ram and 2.33GHZ |

Photographers often shoot massive-res RAW images, there's really no reason not to splurge on RAM in this case.
