Depends on what you consider mid-range. My HP HDX16 does just fine with PS CS3 (and probably would be faster with CS4 or CS5 as it's 64-bit capable). It's a Core 2 Duo at 2.166GHz, 4GB RAM with GeForce 9600M video with 512MB VRAM. Pricing's on the higher side of mid-range (a little over $1100CDN a year ago). Cheaper than any Mac laptop though, and better spec'd than the plain MacBooks aside from CPU clockspeed.
