Try to look for these:
14"
Lenovo
G400s, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1799, 4GB, 500GB, W8
G400s, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT720M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB, W8

The more powerful Mobile CPU will give you the extra juice you need for your editing needs nod.gif
*Use remaining budget to upgrade RAM to at least 8GB (higher better). Photoshop will benefit more from higher RAM and extra HDD space as well.
Can consider upgrade the HDD to an SSD or hybrid SSD later on when budget permits, that will further boost your notbeook's performance  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thank you so much! This is a great choice for me. I really appreciate your inputs, especially in regards to use the remaining budget to upgrade RAM and SSD. I was thinking of doing so but figured I'd do it later since I don't really have the budget to do both upgrade at the moment.

But under your suggestion, I might just be able to do both right away! So, thank you very much for your help biggrin.gif
