Please help..

I am looking at buying a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100sa Sleekbook and was wondering what it would be like with speed and performance?

I need it to be able to run Photoshop and Illustrator as I need to use these for my university course.

It has 4GB Ram, 1TB hard drive and has a Radeon HD 7400G Discrete-Class Graphics card.

Thank you

Extremely poor CPU and really bad igp. Pretty much any intel chip (recommended for productivity apps) is going to do better. Get a a8 model for twice the CPU cores and a stronger gpu.

7400G is not discrete class unless you are talking about 2005ish era performance.
