This is going to be my 1st laptop, & I don't really know how to shop for them. I don't care about the newest software or hardware. I really only have 3 considerations: it has to be a laptop, it has to be under $475, & I have to be able to produce video & vector graphics in 1920x1080.
I'm going to be living on the road for a couple months, & I need something that will let me continue working on my art until I can set up my desktop again. In order of my most frequently-used software to least frequent (or, most important to least important): Flash, Gimp, Construct2, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, Premier. I don't intend to produce any 3D models/3D animation on this laptop (of course it would be great if I could), but I'd still like to be able to do some basic video editing if needed, even if it means just using some generic lightweight editor & no After Effects.
I understand I'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel on performance. Is it possible to find what I'm looking for? If it is possible, what kind of minimum specs should I be looking for? If not, what sacrifices should I consider making? Thanks
