Hi.
I am looking for a laptop for photoshop. it will most of the time be connected to external monitor and keyboard-mouse, and will be my main computer.
I would like a computer that has. average size HDD and small size sdd (64gb) for os and cache. I had hard time finding such option which also include optical drive.
I do not need a big or fancy display or sound options because i will mainly use the external display.
Your help would be much appreciated!

You'll need to spend a bit more than 1k for a computer good at photo and video editing that will last you 3 years. We're talking 1700-2000.
But eurocom.com has a lot of laptops that could fit your needs, and I believe they'll ship to you.

Thank you. video editing will not be the main use of the computer, so i can suffer non optimal performance there. If necessary, I can go up to 1300 usd...
