I'm looking for suggestions on a laptop for using programs such as Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Autocad. Budget would be around $1000 CAD and I'm buying in Canada. I'm looking for something like a netbook that has good battery life and is easily transported. I'll be mainly using it for these design programs, watching videos, and general use, don't need it for gaming. Even if it can run the design programs fairly well it would work as I do have a desktop, I am planning to use it for a university program. A SSD or a machine that I could easily drop in a SSD would be great as welll. Looking for a 13-15 inch screen. I'd really like something ultrabook like with a decent screen and battery life.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
