I've got an Asus U41JF that's very close in spec to the U30, and it runs PS CS5 just fine. Hell, I even edit video on it. Core i3 2.53GHz that overclocks to 2.9GHz. I'd be more concerned with screen quality, where most laptops under $1k (including both of the above) fall flat on their faces.

I agree. I do most of my PP on an Asus desktop with Dell U2711. The notebook is for quick touchups on the road.
