OR

Mainly for photoshop image editing purposes. And with regard to battery life.

Thanks for any help

For what you're looking at, I'd go with the Core Duo. With the same battery and screen size, you'll get longer battery life. For Photoshop use, these two should perform pretty closely. The Core Duo will also help with multitasking - it'll make the whole computer feel snappier when you've got a few things going at once.
At least until we see how competitive from a power usage standpoint AMD's dual core Turions are, I'd say go with the Core Duo.
