I would say an Apple Macbook. Either the faster, more expensive white one or if you really want to treat yourself, the black version. I say the Macbook because it is reasonably portable and should pack enough power to edit photos on the move.
The black Macbook is £60 more than a white oneof the equivalent spec so it's not good value, but it looks great. Macs are ideally suited to doing creative things such as photo editing. Apple's own Aperture is an excellent alternative to Adobe's Lightroom organisation tool and for the actual editing, Photoshop CS3 extended for Mac is the alternative to its Windows equivalent, nothing else comes close.
If you can't bare the Mac platform, I would take a look at Alienware's 15 inch high performance laptop, the Area51 m15x is hugely powerful yet fairly portable. It isn't quite as portable as the Macbook but its specs speak for themselves.
