First of all I'm a newbie, so hello everyone. I am basically self taught on the photoshop 6 program and have been using my HP Pavillion ze4900. It has been getting so slow (had it 6 yrs or so) and finally I'm ready to pursue my next laptop purchase.

My wife and I own a company called One Bad Bitch.com. We do our own graphics, and are acquiring a new DTG printer which will allow us to print from photoshop directly to the garment.

I was hoping anyone having experience with similiar uses (large files and driving a large printer) would be willing to chime in on a laptop they use. Pros, cons. Latest tech desired and anything else that may lead me in the right direction.

I will be here often as I learn more about CS4 (both photoshop and illustrator), and will have many questions as well as searching for creative inspiration.

Thank you in advance for any feedback!

Brian
