Advice on Laptop pretty please

[QfanatiQ]

Been asked by a freind for a laptop that will be able to do the following.

Run a multitude of Photo Manipulation Software, I presume like Photoshop and perhaps others. It is for a guy at work, he is looking to get into this for his retierment. What worries me is that he cannot check his own e-mail!!

Oh yeah, he would like interent as well. I am assuming all Laptops come with the ability for that kind of thing.

The laptop market confuses me somewhat. I am not ofay with some of the termanology. and the graphic capabilities seem alot less than that you can get on a deskptop (for obvious reasons).

Can someone point me in the right direction of perhsp three different solutions ranging from medium, to doggs danglies.

Thank you for you help. Cheers.....Q

Thanks for this, it is not really comaprison i am looking for as i am not sure what (in terms of laptop power) I need in the first place.

To put it crudly would i only need to look at the graphics power. Or are there other facotrs to take into account.

I was going to reconmend a few higher end laptops fom more established trusted sources.

IBM ThinkPad T43
ATI Mobility FireGL V3200, 128MB (DDR2), 2048x1536
Intel Pentium M Processor 770 2.10GHz

With the bells and whistles, will cost you a lot.

I have a friend who works as a graphics designer, and he swear by the Apple PowerBook G4.
