I suggest Asus or Dell. I don't know what exactly you want from it so I can't say a specific series, but I definitely recommend these 2 brands.

I've had fantastic experience with Lenovo and all the other business people in my family have as well; it's become quite the industry standard in quite a few companies that I've heard of for its durability. While expensive (and a Chinese brand, which leaves something to be questionable, I suppose), this old laptop has gone through hell and high water, and aside from the case being cracked and held together with ductape (because it being expensive means parts are expensive... T-T), it's been a charm over the past 6 years. That's the hardware, anyways. As for the software, I have no recommendations.

Asus. Works like a charm and is the best laptop on the market.

Have you ever tried freecycle?

These Toughbooks definitely look indestructible, and there are a few that switch from laptop to tablet. That might be your best bet, if you don't mind spending a few thousand dollars.
If you would prefer spending a few thousand dollars for better overall computer performance, you might try Alienware. But be careful; depending on what you add, they can get really expensive rather quickly. I checked once. The base price was $2000-ish, and when I was done choosing parts it came out to around $8000.

I would sugest a netbook for your travles. Or a tough book so you can chuck at the wall with rage.

My 10c ->

Have a look at the Dell ATG series, Pretty tough notebooks, Most recent one (E6430 ATG) can be configured with a i7, a Gpu with 1Gb Mem and 8Gb Ram

Should be strong enough for Photoshop, with out any hassles.

For those that are to lazy to google : [link]

Lenovo Thinkpad ... those are military-grade.

I love the HP dv6/dv7 series. It's Geek Week at HP, so you can probably get another $100-$150 off a laptop

Panasonic toughbook? last I recall those things if they're still around were made for all sorts of abuse. shock resistant, water resistant etc etc.
