Hi long time never buy laptop, need some recommendations

Brand: Any as long as warranty is not a pain
Price: 2.5k max (preferably around 2k)
Usage: Adobe CS6 photoshop, illustrator etc. + light gaming
Screen size: Not important but i guess since display card is necessary usually 14in+ right?

Thanks in advanced

if you dont warranty to cause you pain in the ass, you can look at these options :

Dell
Inspiron 14R, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT730M@RM2099[2.33kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), Linux; W8SL@RM2299
Inspiron 15, i5-3337U + AMD HD7670M@RM1799[2.25kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 6-cell, Linux; W8SL@RM1949

Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate
Z500, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2299[2.2kg], 4GB, 1TB, backlit, W8; 2 years warranty

prices are RSP and negotiable. display card is necessary in 14" plus? not necessary, as the integrated graphics nowadays are pretty good to support normal usage like watching videos and normal web surfing but graphics card is necessary for gaming performance and graphical processing works.

Thanks, i think the Dell ones look good. If I buy from retail the warranty is same as online right?

I never tried Lenovo products, i had the impression that they are usually more expensive for better build quality am i right?

no, lenovo is cheaper, better build quality and better specifications than other brands.
Thanks i will keep that in consideration when i go to shop too then. How's lenovo warranty process compared to Dell? I used Dell before and the customer support is very straightforward and good.
