Hi Fellow Dell Studio owners,

I need some advice. I'm interested in getting a Dell Studio, as I have been a pretty much dell user for the past 10 years.

I have a Intel Quad Core Q6660 2.4GHz purchased 2 years back and seems to be doing all the tasks just fine.

My main use would be for Photo editing, however I would like to luxury of opening 1GB + tiff scans. Nothing critical in my editing - basic lightroom commands.

I would like the option to switch to SSD sometime in the future (or is this just using the same sata interface?)

Battery life is important, but never at the cost of performance. I can always carry a spare battery.

Which model should I be looking at sufficient for the above?
