Sagers are known for being desktop replacements. Full size keyboards (with numpad), large screens, desktop CPU's etc. I know a few people who have Sagers and love them. Another thing Sagers are known for is that you can easily get one without an OS installed.
Most mainstream brand laptops are pretty good nowadays. If you find a Toshiba that fits your needs then see a Dell 3 days later that also fits your needs and is 200$ less, you can safely go with the Dell.
As for hard drive size, you may have trouble finding a 120GB hard drive.. I'm not sure those even exist? There are 100GB disks though. I'd recommend getting a smaller disk and also getting an external firewire/USB disk, you probably can get a 60GB and a huge external without paying much more than you would for a 100GB laptop drive.
You shouldn't need 1GB of RAM either, 512MB should be plenty for Photoshop and some light gaming. RAM from the manufacturer is very expensive as somebody mentioned. Check what it would cost to get the minimum amount from the manufacturer and buy 512MB from crucial or some other RAM maker. You may even be able to get 1GB for the same price the manufacturer would have you pay for 512MB.
