Can you offer me a sanity check on the laptop I am considering.

I currently own CS5 and will very likely switch to CC in the next  12-15 months.

Software I use: Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects. I also use Lightwave

Budget: $500

Laptop I am considering:

Lenovo W530

Intel Core i7-CPU 3740QM (Quad Core) Base Frequency @2.70 GHz; Turbo Frequency @3.70 GHz

16GB DDR3 RAM

NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB (GDDR5) Dedicated Video RAM

15.6 Inch | LED | FHD | Full HD Display - 1920 X 1080 Resolution Ultra High Resolution with Vivid Colors | Anti-glare Finish

1TB HDD

Win 10 64bit

I have a Samsung SSD I will install in the new laptop.

Also, I use a Wacom tablet to digitally paint 300dpi 3000 x 5000 pixel images in Photoshop, so I would like to continue to do this yet without the lag problems I'm currently facing on my old Dell Precision M4600.

Questions:

  1. Am I making a wise decision based on my needs?
  2. Is there a better alternative you would recommend?
