Video Editing - new Laptop help!

My old laptop decided to die on me other day, much to my dismay. Can any boffins out there please recommend something that would be suitable for heavy Photoshop use(large file sizes) and also to run Adobe Premiere Pro for editing HD video footage (usually 2 or 3 Gbs worth of rendered movie?

My recently deceased laptop was an HP Pavilion media series, with a 3.2Ghz Pentium chip and 1Gb Ram. Since I bought it about 6 years ago all the chips have changed and have totally unhelpful names such a T5250 etc and I'm confused.

Apart from MS Office and the odd bit of internet access, the computer will be solely for the above purposes.

I'm not neccessarily after a make and model number, more what chip I should go for, graphics card, and RAM Size etc.

Oh, I don't use RAID cards for the HD footage - and have no intention of doings so!

Thanks for any help
