[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 941613, member: 9385"] A Mac Mini with any modern wide-screen LCD would be great for photo editing. A mini has about the same power in any given configuration as a Macbook, and I've used my Macbook to work with RAW images from my DSLR, and did so with my PPC Mac Mini which I used for exactly the same thing as you are doing. Granted, you'd be better served getting a basic Macbook with an external Monitor, but that would drive the cost up a bit since a Mac Mini with good external monitor would be cheaper than a basic Macbook with good external monitor though you would get the portability. I assume you'll be using photoshop since even though a Mac comes with iPhoto, a serious photographer would not be using iPhoto for anything. Well, I use it to work with photos taken either with my iPhone or the built-in iSight, but for anything done with my Nikon DSLR it's Photoshop, and any current Mac model will handle that just fine.
