Hi all

I'm looking for a new laptop for school. My specific needs are a little different from what I've seen other people asking for. I want a computer which can handle Photoshop, Illustrator, PowerPoint, Word, Endnote, and a bunch of tabs in chrome all working at once (and maybe one or two other programs). I'm not looking to do any gaming, but I do watch netflix, etc.

Budget: $600-900.

Size: Medium (I carry it to school and back home but I only use it at a desk while plugged in).

I'm looking to buy from amazon but I would also go to a website which allowed me to customize. I want this to last 4-5 years. I'm most familiar with HP so I'd like to stick with it or something similar.So, I basically want a fast computer which will stay fast for a while, but I don't plan to do any serious gaming. Thanks.
