Photo editing/Computer people quick question

[kanetrain]

I recently bought my wife a DSLR camera and she wants to get into photo editing and all that.

The laptop she has right now is about a year old, it's got an i5 processor 2.8ghz I believe(with the turbo boost whatever), 4gb RAM, and a decent graphics card for a laptop.

Is that going to be good enough for anything she wants to run? Or do I need to be looking at macs or a new computer for Christmas?

That will be just fine, you will only need a Mac or a dedicated system if she is going to be doing it professionally.
