I'm looking for a productivity device that can handle Photoshop CS3 (5 at best) or CC at most. If not, PowerPoint will suffice on a very very strict budget (student lol)

Here are the ones that they have that fit my budget (only until $160)
IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad X61
Dell Vostro A90
Dell D630
Dell E-5500
HP 2730P
HP 6715S

Which would be the best option? I notice that they're company devices too so they should be a tad bit sturdy. They all range from $126-$160 depending on the specs (particularly the RAM)

Another option would be to buy one of those Windows 8.1/10 devices but they really don't strike me the right way because of the small storage and inability to increase the RAM.
 
Solution
How about a tablet with a keyboard. If you get a cheap acer iconia tablet I think its called and you attach a bluetooth keyboard, it should serve your needs nicely.

Or look for a cheap lenovo x series.

If that'd be the case, I could live with not having to use Photoshop specifically. How about PowerPoint though?

Sadly it isn't much of an option since Chromebooks are nowhere to be seen where I am (Philippines) although I've wanted one for its portability and low price.
