Best laptop for viewing photos?
I'm trying to find the best available laptop for viewing high resolution photos (18MP, RAW). I'm not concerned about memory or card readers - but moreso which laptop is best at displaying the color quality from my Canon 7D. Any suggestions?

17" or larger.
Dont bother with the new style 15.6 screens.
Dual core processor.
Minimum 3gb RAM.
Min 250 HD, although external HD's are cheap now.
Edit.
B.E.I. just reminded me. I run Windows 7 on mine, and its not an upgrade, purchased from new with 7 installed.
CS3 runs normal on it. I recommend downloading Picasa3 which provides you with a RAW viewer AND organises your photos.

Get a decent laptop that has a good video card and that does NOT have a glossy screen if possible. Your budget is what will determine the laptop. I wanted an Alienware M17, but settled on a HP Pavillion.
Just make sure the laptop specs can easily run your photo editing software. The more memory the better.
**The most important thing to buy is a monitor calibrator like a Spyder3 pro http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3pro.php ,even the most expensive laptop/monitor is useless when editing photos if it is not calibrated properly.
