Hi everyone!

I am looking for a sub $500 laptop for some light video/photo editing. I need one for school and I have around $500 to work with. I will be using Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, and Sony Vegas.

What I'm looking for:
- A quad-core CPU
- At least 4GB RAM (6-8GB preferably)
- A decent battery life. (Enough to get through 3-4 hours a day)
- A discrete GPU would be a great bonus but not essential
- 1080p screen ideal, can work with 900p
- Windows 7/8 64X

*Before anyone recommends that I just build a PC, I have. I just need something to carry with me throughout the day for school and work.

Thanks everyone! If you have any questions for me please ask!

You could try and find the acer aspire v3 with a gt 840m. Or you could search for a hp laptop which are good at this. Toshiba laptops are also an alternative.
