Default Advice on a new computer

I think I need a new computer - the family PC (2003 vintage) is getting clogged with all sorts of rubbish (I think that's the kid's games, but they would say the same about my photos!), and is running ever slower, and the files I am working on are getting ever bigger.
I was considering a laptop, so as to be able to do some photo-editing etc on the move, but need something that will work with 95mb 16bit TIFF files in Lightroom and Photoshop, handle 4Gb downloads of RAW files etc. Ideally I would also like the ability to run a second screen for photo-editing at home, and also burn dvds for back-up on the move. My existing peripherals are mostly USB.
Everything has changed since I last researched computer specs, so any advice on spec and brands to consider/avoid would be welcome!
