What would be a good laptop to use for graphic design and writing a sci fi novel?

One with an external keyboard, mouse, drawing pad and monitor... or a desktop.
I think it is more about being comfortable and laptops just aren't. Get the peripherals right and it doesn't matter what laptop you get, more memory if you want to do massive drawings but you don't need much else.

Any. It's a book. You could get a netbook and still be able to write with it.
