I'm going overseas to do video and photography work and I am looking for a laptop that will run all Adobe CS6, (mainly Premiere Pro and After Effects)

My requirements:
- i7 (2.4GHz or higher preferably)
- 16gb RAM Dedicated graphics card for GPU acceleration
- 1TB HDD (not as important as I can get an external)
- 15" preferable for travel but again not as important

I am looking at most likely getting used or refurb from eBay, and my budget is <$1000. I've been looking at HP Envy 15 and lenovo thinkpad with the specs I listed

I would go with the lenovo mainly because HP's customer service is TERRIBLE, also lenovo makes decent products. A better model than the thinkpad however is the Y50, it's $999 but will do all you require of it and more, and it also looks great and will be awesome for personal use as well if you were to play games and such on it.

I would only recommend the y50 if you need the power. If that is overkill you can't go wrong with the asus n series laptops.

Also the y50 is basically 4k on the go, which is pretty nice.
