Was looking at MacBooks. No idea what's good and bad spec wise. I don't really need it to play games. But something with a decent screen that's portable which can handle large RAW files is about all I want as that's the laptops primary job. Are the entry level airs any good?
At the end of the day, unless you spend more than £1000 you aren't going to get a good screen, there's always a compromise to be made. Do you really need a laptop for editing on the go or is it just due to having small size editing due to living space constraints? Small form personal computers and a 21" screen might be a better solution.
My answer to this problem six months ago was an Asus Zenbook UX330UA. Processor i5-6200U, 8GB RAM, excellent high-res nearly 4K screen of 3200x1800, 13" for good portability, and visible without colour etc changes from an unusually wide range of view angles, and a 256GB SSD "disc". The screen is delightfully good! I had been running a five year old desktop machine built for fast photo processing which despite having 16GB RAM had taken a serious hit in image processing speeds when I moved up from 14MP to 24MP image files. It varies a lot depending on what I'm doing, but roughly on average this laptop is about 5 times faster in image processing. The old machine had become annoyingly slow. This one is not always instant, but never annoys me with its occasional slight delays. It's the SSD which I think makes the biggest difference.

Make sure it has a good quality screen for photography! A friend has a bigger more powerful Asus laptop than mine, but for photograph editing the screen is horrible, mostly poor off-axis viewing -- the colours and contrast change a lot if you move your head!Just found version running i7 and larger ssd! I'm sold.
