After my desktop I need to upgrade my notebook. Can somebody tell me if an Intel i5 460M CPU is quick enough for LR 3.3 and Raw files from a 5d Mark II (I may buy a Sndy Bridge notebook eventually, but the i5 460M CPu seeems to be comparable in performance to the SB cpus that will be used in sub-notebooks)? Thanks.

The 460m is a duo core processor. LR can take advantage of multiple cores and 2 cores isn't that hot if speed is a high priority. That said a 460m is certainly sufficient.
Here's a searchable list:

The 460m is more at the low end (rank 238) as of today.
I'd go for a quad core sandy bridge.
The CPU is one thing - the screen quality is another topic. The differences are EXTREME here.
