Laptop for photography

[Gromm]

So I'm gonna be doing a lot of photography work in the field, and wanted a laptop to tether to my camera. It will have to be able to run Photoshop (nothing heavy though) and Lightroom. And preferably Football Manager as well

Screen size, anywhere between 10" and 15", no bigger. Was looking at the Dell Inspiron 1525 for £399 -

* Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5750
* (2.0GHz, 667 MHz, 2 MB Cache)
* Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Premium
* 2 GB Memory
* 120 GB Hard drive
* 15.4" TrueLife Widescreen Display
* DVD ReWriter Drive
* Wireless enabled
* HDMI connectivity, webcam
* Black design

Can anyone find anything better than this? Budget is around £450 give or take, depending on what I'm getting.

Cheers all!
