Needs Photoshop CS 5 and Adobe suite.

Need best laptop choice.

I just want a really good one for Architecture.

I spend most of the time at Uni I've spent more time there than my house and I have like 30 contact hours per week.

So I just really want a system that can let me use Photoshop CS 5 and Adobe suite.

get a gaming laptop, ittle come with a good gfx card which will run photoshop and adobe suit easily. i'd suggest getting one with switchable gfx tho, so you can switch to the lower power consuming gfx card when your not needing photoshop and the battery will last longer.

You should check out an HP from the dv6 or higher series b/c most of those have good gfx cards, upgradable ram to fit your needs, and have switchable gfx

Don't whatever you do get a dv6xxx. I had one, it fucking fried on me. Next did aswell. The heatpipes go from the CPU over the NB to the heatsink and fan. Every time the CPU overheated, the NB got even hotter and the other way around ad infinitum. I'd suggest, if you have the money, macbook pro. Many guys I know in arch are getting em, they seem to like it. I myself got me a Sony VAIO, it's working alright. Anything with a decent gfx card and plenty of ram will do.
