BEST LAPTOP for Graphics Designer

[vivsin]

which is the best Laptop for a graphics artist
secondly LAPTOP or TABLET?

I would say go for a Intel Centrino based Tablet. Only problem with tablets that I have been seeing on the net is that they are too fragile but I guess if you take good care of it there wont be any problems.
I have seen a Laptop/Tablet convertible somewhere, not sure if it was made by Toshiba or Acer. Will give more info if I find it

An Apple PowerBook might be a good choice unless you want windows.

ACER and TOSHIBA BOTH have Laptop + Tablet
I want exactly the model no only from Pro Graphics designers not suggestions like "go for P mobile and all "
I want real feedbacks , means if u r using one and u r happy with that then plz post it here .

I dont have access to MAC softwares so I will go for WINDOWS Based only .

do NOT go for acer, i used to work for them, the clips on the tablets break in just a few months and are NOT covered by warranty and at £70 a time it can get expensive, that and the fact that the acer products break down and take ages to fix. I have a HP Pavilion zd8000, it is a 17" widescreen, x600 128mb graphics card, it's p4 3Ghz and am very happy with it.

I have the Inspiron 9300 lappy from Dell and I got 1/2 upgrades for the vid card, it is great! I have ran new games like AOE3 and CIV4. I have also run games like Rome: Total War and Source. It looks good and keeps up with all of them perfectly.

Intel Centrino Sure rocks!

Anything will do, I honestly don't see any difference as long as it's above 2.6 mHZ and 512MB ram. I personally don't have a laptop, but my 2.8MHz Celeron at 1GB ram and a bad video card (Radeon 9200) is just fine.

The Sony A series with their 17" Wide WUXGA 1920x1200 displays are quite nice if you don't mind a heavy laptop. They have very nice screens that can automatically adjust to the ambient lighting conditions also. My only complaint is that the fan is starting to make some noise...probably didn't help that I used it while remodeling my house.

I think Tablet is preferable.!

look on ebay because the actual brands eg. dell are way overpriced lol
