Laptop/Notebook Recommendation Needed

Old faithful here is nearing the end of her days. I can't complain, she's had a good life and at eight years old, well ~ let's just say she's got more than a few health problems. But don't worry, she won't be PTS, she'll be re-homed where she can retire into palliative care gracefully...

I'm thinking of laptop/notebook but, as I am a know-nothing I'm hoping some of you more current in the giga-world can help with a recommendation. I don't have a great deal of money to spend (about a thousand) but I also don't need anything shmancy. I'm not a gamer although I may want to be able to watch DVD's. I would like to be able to install photo-editing programs like Photoshop. I need a larger screen with high pixellation/ resolution. I would also need to be able to run the usual office programs (Word, Excel, Access etc.). It won't be travelling very often as I have one at work for that purpose so ease of portability isn't really an issue but WiFi would be great.

I've started reading various trade and on-line consumer reviews but, I'm quickly going into information overload (and they seem all over the map). Any thoughts or helpful hints?
