Looking for a new Laptop

*hello*

Hi guys, just looking for a bit of help making my mind up/showing me different options.

Looking to get a new laptop for college (loads of Adobe Programmes like Photoshop, Fireworks. Then Solidworks and other heavy programmes like that) So it needs to be a pretty decent machine; i7, 8gb RAM, etc. But I also want a pretty good battery and preferably one of those MSSD's.

Been looking at the Lenovo IdeaPad U410 but the battery is supposed to be fairly low:

Also the Z580

Then the Samsung 700Z5C:

This is only 3 so open to more suggestions
By the way budget is up to about €1250

Thanks guys!

All fine machines... Photoshop, Solidworks and the likes make use of CUDA cores in Nvidia graphics. The Lenovo U410 only has a ULV dual core i7, no match for the performance of the i7 quad, but easier on the battery.

Guess I'll have to sacrifice battery life so.
