 | Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive)
Buy new: $1,918.98 In my opinion, the all-around best laptop for digital art and video editing. I typically buy wait for a price drop on the older models right after Apple issues an update. You can save hundreds of dollars that way!

 | HP W2207 22-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor
An amazing monitor for the price, I was very surprised at how adept this monitor was at handling digital art, photography, and video editing. I use it as an external monitor along with my Macbook Pro, and the results are just phenomenal -- perfect, crisp image with no lagging whatsoever. If you take the time to carefully color calibrate this thing, you can get some amazingly professional results.

![Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium [Mac] [OLD VERSION]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41viEwLxkCL._SL75_.jpg) | Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium [Mac] [OLD VERSION]
Buy new: $1,799.49 / Used from: $800.00 The "industry standard" software package for digital art, design, illustration, web design, EVERYTHING. This software is MUCH cheaper if you have an education discount (we're talking over $1000 cheaper), so try to buy it that way. If you don't have an education discount, buy it off somebody who does, or find it for cheap on Ebay.

 | Canon CanoScan LiDE 25 Color Image Scanner (0307B001)
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $151.93 Thin, small, and cheap - this scanner is very good for the price. I use it to scan sketches and import them into Photoshop, and the resolution looks excellent.
You may have to adjust things a bit if you're scanning colored artworks, however, but overall this is a great bang for your buck.

Take the time to read up a bit on color management (particularly on color profiles in Photoshop and how to sync the profile with the printer), and you WILL get professional results with this printer.
