I would agree. We probably need to get at least another year out of this laptop. I do have a little buyers remorse since I was not thinking about digital pictures and video when it was purchased and the video is weak. The rest is not bad. I am sure it would not hurt it to put a bit more RAM in though.

It sounds like Elements is suggested by many, another forum agreed but I am only going to get my discount at school for another week or so and then if I need PS after that it will be full price. I just checked Adobe and the upgrade from PS does not apply for Elements.

Thanks everyone for your input.
