The gateway is refurbished, and is still $550...very much over priced for a duo core (not 2), non LED and heavy (6.28 pounds). The only good thing this one has is the 4GB ram, which is DDR2. I can't figure why it's $550 used, maybe someone can help me out.

Still not a Core 2, but an LED.

I guess for photoshop you would need it to be LED? I don't know myself.

wait till windows 7 is released, then there will be some good deals with the laptops pre-installed with windows 7

More importantly, if you get a laptop that comes with Windows 7 you know that it is supported driver and tech support wise.

Unfortunately i'm way too impatient to wait for a final release of Windows 7. I cant imagine having any problems with hardware compatibility anyways.
