1200-1500 Laptop ideas

    Hi guys,
    Looking at getting a new laptop for university. Trying to find the balance between performance / cost.

    Budget: 1200 - 1500 for the right laptop

    Intended use: Autodesk Revit (3d Modelling), Adobe creative suite & minor video editing.

    Mobility: Mobility would be ideal, bringing it back and forth from college almost daily

    Warranty:Would like to have a year warranty at least, maybe 2 depending on the price. I can tinker with laptops but have only done some basic removal and re-installation of parts.

    What Operating System do you use? Windows (7, 8 or 10 whichever is cheapest)

    I have this laptop from PcSpecialist which I've spec'd and am wondering if there is anything better on the market for a similar price bracket (give or take 150 euro's) or if there is something lacking in the build? The spec is about the amount of power I'm looking for.

    Chassis : Cosmos Series

    Display15.6" Matte Full HD IPS LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
    Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4710MQ (2.50GHz) 6MB
    Memory (RAM) 16GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)
    Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 950M - 2.0GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 12
    Hard Disk 480GB KINGSTON V300 SSD, SATA 6 Gb (450MB/R, 450MB/W)
    Wireless/Wired Networking GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® AC-7260 HMC (867Mbps, 802.11AC) + BLUETOOTH
    Battery Cosmos Series 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (48.84WH)

    Price: €1,285.00 (inc. building and delivery)

    Thanks for the help / suggestions.
