Hi there. I've got a Dell at the moment. It's ok I guess but my wife needs a
laptop for simple stuff like email and net so I'll give that to her. I need
a machine that's good for photo editing on the run but not to large.

Anyway, what would you consider to be the BEST build quality of all laptops
(ex Mac)

Probably the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 would have the best build quality.
:-) Yet that's intended to be used for military purposes, on expedition or
on building sites.

Generally those laptops aimed at business users tend to have the better
build quality - to name a few Thinkpad T, HP nc/nx, FSC Lifebooks, some
Acer TravelMates, Toshiba Tecra M/S, Samsung P50/P60/X60.

As for your intended use of photo editing... It might be worth considering
to get a laptop with FlexView display, ideally a SXGA+ 14". This screen is
optional on some Thinkpad R and T models and offers a much wider viewing
angle and better contrast. The disadvantage is that the energy consumption
of this display is a bit higher.
Here is an overview about models equipped with FlexView:
