Hi Saharika! How're you?
Well according to you need....which is very much the best of everything....I can suggest you a few things...
First of them would be a NETbook....these are tiny laptops and according to their name they're basically made for surfing the internet. Typical netbooks have no optical drive, an intel atom processor 1.6ghz, 1 gig memory and a 160gb hdd, wifi and a 8.9" or 10.1" screen. This can solve your following purposes:
Office work
Ms office, word, spreadsheets, etc etc etc
Emailing and communications(as it has webcam)
and last but not the least.....entertainment on the go
Given all that...The battery backup is very very high as compared to the normal notebooks.... A netbook with a 6 cell battery would last around 4.5 hours with full fledged usage...this would include wifi on, full brightness and the sound on....
if you just work on it, say, like ms office or email...it would last a good 5.5 hours....and if ya use it very decently, without stressing on any of it's multimedia features then you can hope to squeeze around 6-6.5 hours...
all said, this would run your photoshop with a few headbanging moments.... so, it's not for photoshopping..
but hey, these things cost so less then the mainstream laptops that it makes you want to have one as a spare...
I am saying all this by experience of of 2 days and a research on internet since 2 months..
I just bought an Asus EeePC 1000H on saturday...
It's got Atom 1.6ghz proccy
1gb ram
160 sata
10.11inch LED display (resolution 1024*600)
1.3mp webcam
wifi b/g/n (This 'n' thing is future I tell you)
a keyboard which is 92% in size of a standard laptop keyboard......
3 usb ports...one vga port to hook up an extra monitor....
4cell li-polymer battery...it gives around 4 hours backup in moderate usage
The earlier model used to come with a 6 cell battery which provided 7 hours backup....but unluckily it's discontinued....but hey, 4 hours isn't a bad deal at all
now this thing is loaded up to the brim...and not to mention it comes in a sexy piano black finish with some chrome touchups all over.....making it a very very desirable thang
and it weighs only 1.4 KGs...beat that
I got this baby for Rs.21000
Pretty much everything...but still not an ideal photoshop machine...
now for your photoshop you can buy another lappy in with of a centrino2 platform which would give you a battery backup of 3 hours max....
======================
======================
The main thing is that you can't get a laptop which would run photoshop, give you battery backup of 6-7 hours and cost under 70k...... you need to up the budget and go for a Dell or a Sony Vaio...
Now considering the fact that you're not an Apple hater like me, I have a perfect solution for you....
The Macbook...
13" wide
core 2 duo
OS X
three models available.... the one which seems fot for your requirement and budget is the the one with 2.1ghz core2dup processor
the main specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1ghz
2GB DDR3 Memory
160GB hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
graphics
Rs.72,910

Now you can expect to get this notebook after discount for rs. 65000 I guess....coz generally they have a darn big margin on Apple notebooks....
so, here you go.....may you find the best one for yourself.
