Lightweight Laptop Recommendations

[sketchpad]

Hi, I want to upgrade my Lenovo Thinkpad E545 with something of similar processing power and screen size but lighter. My E545 has an AMD A8-5550M and 15" display, SSD and 12gb 1600mhz RAM and weighs 2.45 kg (5.40 lbs).
The main use is Adobe creative suite, Photoshop, Indesign etc so maybe an IPS screen upgrade would nice.
I don't game.
What would you recommend?

15.6" Lenovo Ideapad 510 for $660 with i7-7500u, 256GB SSD, 1080p IPS screen, 8GB RAM. I will easily outperform your laptop. Weighs in at 4.84lbs.

14" Lenovo Ideapad 510s for $800 with the same specs as above, but also with a AMD Radeon R7 M460 (basically slightly better than a nvidia 920m). Weighs in at 3.74lbs.

Thanks jaguarskx, these are nice options but a little overkill for my crappy design skills and techniques

Overkill in what way? Price?

If you want a light yet "powerful enough" laptop then it will cost you more money because it takes more engineering and lightweight materials (both of which costs money) to create such a laptop.

No, the i7 murders my A8 5550M. I was thinking a high end i3 or lower end i5 would do it.
Maybe I'm underestimating that AMD cpu?

Perhaps the following Lenovo IdeaPad 500 with a Core i5-6200 for $430 which is a little over 5lbs. Laptops under 5lbs. is not my forte unless we are talking about the more high end laptops.
