Looking for a Laptop for University and light Video-Editing on a budget

[KilledByCheese]

Hey,

I'm looking for some advise from you guys - it's my first post so please forgive me if I do something wrong and tell me how to improve
 

I'm currently looking for a new Laptop, which I need for my studies and should be suitable for the following points:

• light Video-, Photo- and Audio-Editing
• Office (Word/Excel/Powerpoint)
• Internet-research (more often I have a ton of Browser Tabs open at the same time)
• matte display 
• Netflix/YouTube

I would like to have at least 8GB of Ram and at least a 4Cores CPU and a SSD would be nice 

Additional I would like the following nice to haves: 

• 15" Display - HD, 4k or Touch not required
• at least 3 to 4 hours battery life, while surfing the web (I know rendering and heavy workloads can tank the lifespan of the battery)
• Dedicated Graphics card to boost Render Performance and maybe play the Sims :3
• should be useable for the next years
• upgradeability - would be nice to be able to change/upgrade the Storage or the RAM 
• maximal 800€

I know for the price I don't get something fancy or extra special. I'm looking for something good enough and maybe with a student discount maybe I can get a good deal

 

I don't know much about Laptops so any recommendation will be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Used Thinkpad T5xx(s if you want something thinner/lighter). Get the newest/fastest you can afford.

 

 

EDIT: It seems like you'd be looking at a T560, 70, or 80. I'd look locally.
