After some laptop buying advice

[PerfectSpeed]

I'm looking for a LT to go with me to events, show slideshows at festivals, work on LR2 and CS4, all my shots are in Raw, I also want good internet connections etc.

The first one

Number 2

#2 is just off budget but will make it up if needed.

Any thoughts on these two would be greatly appreciated as I'm sure these questions haved been hammered here.

Thanks

Steve

For photo-processing, my advice is to get a decent processor, as much RAM as you can afford, 7200RPM drives, as much screen size and resolution as you can afford, and run under Win7 64-bit (both LR2 and CS4 will recognise a 64-bit system and install the 64-bit versions).

Thanks guys.

TBH I'm not up to date with laptops, but #2 looks OK to me, if anyone knows others that would suit in the 500 quid range, I'm listening.
