Its barely 1k and I really looking for a budget laptop for just photoshop/video editing/rendering like I need it for my university program in digital arts thx!

Honestly you'd be better off getting a desktop, but if you're set on a laptop, that's probably the best you're going to get on a budget like $1k

I have a desktop but I have to have a laptop in class -.- these guys say. My PC is completely built for this now I just need a laptop also that can handle it when I'm not at home in Uni

100$ more, but much better screen, much better procesor, more ram
more bulky though...

It should be enough in my opinion for what you need.

I BOUGHT!!
MSI GP70 2PE-006US
http

/www.msi.com/product/nb/GP70-2PE-Leopard.html#hero-overview

Why?
2 X hard drives - 1 mSATA and 1 X 1tb, 7200RPM (I installed the mSata my self and moved the OS from the 1tb stock drive to it. (256 GB Plexter M6M)
Screen-17.3 Best screen I could find for the $$ -1080P with contrast ratio between 900-1000 (depends on review) and cd/m2 of 335 brightness
Nvideo 2GB 840. more then enough for any editing
8GB ram- may not be enough for some, good for me.. it's on one stick and there is one open slot in the computer. so you can add a second very easily.
PRICE!! $1000, + 160 for the 256 GB plexter mSATA.
CPU - website says I7-4700 but it came with a I7-4710HQ (2.5ghz quad core -turbo = 3.34Ghz (seems to always be running at 3.34)

Boot time into windows 8.1 -25 seconds!! mSATA or SSD is the way to go for installing the OS and your programs!

Couldn't be happier with the results. had to share!
