    I will use a laptop for mostly photos with PS, some minor video editing, and movies. Does anyone have any experience with the following system or one similar? This will be my first laptop, so want to be sure I have the right speed, video capabilities, etc. Plus one that is reliable. I plan to add a TV tuner.

    DV4T
    Intel P8400 2.24
    Geforce 9200
    320 HD
    Vista 32

    Any feedback on the DV4T will be helpful.

    Thanks

    Before you make a final decision on the dv4t, take a look at the dv3510nr at BEST BUY. It has a 13.3" display compared to the slightly larger 14.1" of the dv4t. The dv3510nr's display is LED-backlit, which is a $100 option on the dv4t.

    The dv3510nr also includes a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 processor, 4GB DDR2-800 RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, Webcam, Fingerprint Reader, Intel 5100AGN wireless card, Bluetooth and Hi-Capacity Battery. Compared to the dv4t, it has a 512mb nVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS, which is a slightly better performer than the 9200M GS. The dv3510 comes standard with a 2-year Warranty and is a BEST BUY Exclusive. Currently on sale for $999- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9027714&st=dv3510nr&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218010176167
