All,
I am looking to purchase a new laptop. It's been a few years since I purchased one and don't really keep up with laptops/pc's. I thought I might like one of the Ultrabooks, but not sure if that is a good road to go down for web design.

I have the typical programs open and multi-task:
Photoshop
HTML Editor
Form Builder
Image Mapper...etc...
Excel, Word...etc
Firefox, IE, Chrome...etc

I want to get a laptop that can process and multi-task very quickly.

What do you guys recommend? NO APPLE! I am just not a MAC fan...sorry!

Thanks!

The best one you can afford or two of the cheapest for multitasking at it's finest.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Ultrabook should be able to handle photoshop. I used one for Solidworks with no problem. Formy personal computers I usually just set one up through cyberpowerpc.com though

I use this

I bought it last boxing day at walmart for 200.00 taxes included.

I use it for web design, Photoshop 7, WAMP, as well as programming in C, ASM, VB. Also works great with Microsoft Office 2010.
