well .. to transfer the images all u need is the mininum for the software
you will be using ... most modern laptops will cope with most aplications ..
of course the speed in which it will all happen will be faster with a
machine
with more resources to cope with your aplications .. photoshop will be much
slower on a celeron however if all you want to do is transfer your images
from the camera a second hand p2 with 64 megs of ram is what I use
