Here's that Acer for $549.99:

Highlights include 15.6 inch Full HD, 256GB SSD, Nvidia 940MX 2GB, 8GB RAM, DVD Rom, and i5 6200U. Downsides start with weight, it's 5.27 pounds. And while the SSD is fast, you'll probably need more than 256GB of storage for projects.
Alternately, here's an HP for $459.99:

Same size screen, 15.6 inch full HD, same processor, i5 6200U, same 8GB RAM. No dedicated graphics or SSD, but it has a 1 TB drive, DVD+RW, and weighs 4.73 pounds. And of course it's $90 less.
Exact same model except with 128 GB SSD instead of the 1 TB HD, and 4.65 pounds:

Overall, the Acer with the dedicated GPU would probably be fastest because programs like Illustrator can offload processing tasks to it.
