Hello everyone, I'm here to annoy you with another of these laptop advice needed threads. So basically i'm looking for a Laptop. Here is what I'm looking for exactly.

Cheap ($400-700)
Good amount of Memory
Great battery life
Light(Not too heavy)
Preferred with turbo-boost technology
Don't heat up alot
Anti-Ugly
Good Graphics

I only need it to Run League of Legends and maybe Skype/Music(Pandora) at the same time.
or
Do some Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya + music(Pandora) at the same time.(1 Adobe program Running).


Edit: I went to my nearest Best Buy and they recommended me this one
www.bestbuy.com/site/vivobook-13-3-touch-screen-laptop-6gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive/2990013.p?id=1219085427753&skuId=2990013&st=categoryid$pcmcat247400050000&cp=1&lp=15

I'm looking for more opinions please.

$600 6 GB memory i5 @ 2.6 Ghz

Should be enough to run all of the above, with decent battery life

I don't think your going to find a cheap 'screaming machine' with a good battery life though :p

Turbo-boost is like "anti-battery life" technology. If you do buy a computer with it I would suggest turning it off.

The one you linked me has a quad core AMD processor, unfortunately, it does not give the clock speed for some reason (that kind of irritates me that it doesn't give me that..).
