Laptop Selection Help

[youshoe]

Hey everyone,

So I've been looking for a laptop and I think I've narrowed it down to a Lenovo thinkpad.

I am living in rez as a student and this is my main computer. Will be doing photoshop and web development work and writing papers, a bit of league of legends.

I need a 15.6" laptop, weight is not too big of a deal as long as it is not overkill.



I was thinking of the Lenovo ThinkPad T530
