    Hey! I'm currently looking for a decent laptop that will do me for the next four years or so.

    To keep things short and simple I'm looking for something:

    -Lightweight w/ a decent battery life as I will be commuting a lot
    -Can handle video editing on Sony Vegas and graphic design on Photoshop as they're hobbies of mine
    -Some gaming too(Dragon Age, Skyrim, etc.)

    My budget is €500 more or less. I'm really new to this sort of thing so I'd really appreciate the help.

    I'm currently looking at this one but(?)

    €500 wont get you something that will do 4yrs well, it'd be seriously struggling by finals.

    Depending on what scale of editing you do, you may wanna spend more like €800.

    Thank you for the reply, I wouldn't mind skipping out on the editing part if it helps with the price. I'm not against getting something secondhand either. Do you have any other suggestions?
