If you're heavy with photoshop and would appreciate the time saved rendering photos, get the quad. Otherwise, get the dual. Your battery life will be much better.

Both CPUs can handle the Adobe applications - It's just a matter of speed. The quad-core should be at least 1.2 times faster than the dual, if not 2x.

Ok as long as both of them would handle rendering and all with photoshop ans especially Premiere Pro cS4 then the core 2 duo should be plenty then

Try this deal http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1652002. Its the Dv8 which I assume is a newer model. Its a quad though.
