    Hello!
    I was asked to find a PC laptop for my sister who is working much with graphic design (mostly 2D, Adobe-programs; Illustrator, Photoshop etc.). And I'm not so much into laptops, so I would like to ask for an advice, please? It has to be fast and have a rather big harddrive, but also good graphics card and a screen that gives good colours.

    She had looked at an Acer TravelMate 7520, which is probably ok, but if anyone has any tips about other laptops (that is specially good for working with graphics) I/we would be happy.

    Thanks!
    Anders

    If money isn't a worry than try out alienware, that why she can customize to her hearts content.

    I don't really like Acer Travelmates, they used to (not sure about now) contain trojans that let acer monitor whatever you were doing with them.

    Try a Toshiba Satellite, they're pretty solid laptops and often come with reasonable specs for the price.
