Suitable laptop for casual graphic designing? (Form filled out)

[sarahahmadizani]

I have a 4 year old HP Beats laptop with AMD Processor that heats up quickly and the fan would turn loudly, making me uneasy. The repair shop said since my processor is old and replacing it is expensive, and its better for me to buy a new laptop.

I mostly use laptop for leisure (web browsing, binge youtube/stream videos and casual graphic drawings on Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketchbook/Painttool SAI. If i get a job in a designing company, i might use it frequently, but not everyday. Nothing too extreme as im not using it for heavy gaming purposes.

Im looking for a laptop with intel processor (i5 or i7 whichever suitable) and a good graphic card that fits my needs.
