We've just bought an HP for home use, but which has more than enough power to run Photoshop. Our configuration is: o Core 2 Duo processors (you definitely win here) o 4GB RAM o 640GB (2x320GB) o CD/DVD optical drive Blu-Ray would be nice, but it adds a lot to the price. o 17.3" 1600x900 screen Your extra pixels are good Not quite as good as yours, but we only paid $850 US. That's around $1K AUD. I don't know how much GST would add to that. On Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 06:03:38PM +1000, Tanya Love wrote: > Ok, so I've come across an AMAZING deal, on an awesome machine!
