Budget laptop for <$600 that can do photoshop and video editing

[blackllotus]

I know with that type of budget I can't expect blazing performance but it only needs to do college-level work. A 13" screen minimum is a must but I'm flexible on everything else. Any suggestions? Performance > size so ultrabooks aren't necessary unless the deal is really good.

If you can find this in stock near you, it's fairly loaded but 14.1" with Intel 4000 graphics.

Thanks! Looking into it.

The following looks good: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V3...g_bs_565108_14

Any obvious deficiencies that I'm missing? Battery looks a little weak but I think that is manageable...

I had this in my cart two days ago and since that website can't take two methods of payment called Capital One to extend me $20 (I had a $1000 payment that finalized yesterday), they said they'd get it done then an hour later told me they couldn't.

Then I went back to put it on my debit card (I hate using debit online) and the laptop was gone.

Bought my future wife's daughter a Macbook Pro 13.3" instead.

Lucky bastard, I'm jealous it's OOS in my area.
