Should be lots out there at the moment.  We have a few Dell XPS's at the moment, two 15" and one 17" and they are pretty damn good machines, not sure if they are in your price range though but do look at them.

unless you really need a laptop don't get one....

and if your doing dreamweaver/photoediting you are going to get fed up pretty quick with a small screen....

i'd do as dermo said if you wanna go laptop...but those are mostly portable pc's if you get one quite powerful....

Agreed. Also, get an external screen, if you do get one with a small screen, as photoediting needs @ least a 19" screen.

Finally, ensure the laptop can take at least 4GB's of RAM, if you plan on doing video editing...
