I bought this laptop recently. I guess it's 'mid range' but it runs SL pretty well.
I can run SL, gimp and chrome simultaneously with no problem (although the fan has to work hard)... https://www.amazon.co.uk...

(although the battery doesn't last long)

Thanks Aj - not sure it's what I am looking for as I will be running Gimp/Photophobia, Blender, SL and more at the same time

Yeah you may need something with a bit more wellie!

Photophobia?

haha

Photoshop, I meant. Was soo freaked out but now ended up buying this www8.hp.com/dk/da/produc...
