I am looking to find the prefect new computer for my work.

 

I need something small and light yet powerful.

I will be using this to run a local server and text editors...And light Photoshop.

 

I have $800 to spend what would you all recommend? 

 

This is what I am looking at as of now: http://www.amazon.com/Zenbook-UX305LA-13-3-Inch-Titanium-Windows/dp/B013KKANTE/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1445192697&sr=1-9&refinements=p_n_intended_use_browse-bin%3A9647498011

 

Edit: I can use my desktop for anything that gets over the top in photoshop!

CPU Ryzen 5 Asrock B350 Pro 4 / MSI RX580 Gaming / RAM 16 Gigs Corsair Vengeance 3000 / HDD 1TB Seagate Barracuda / SSD Samsung 840 120GB / 500GB Samsung SSD / Case Urban S31 / PSU EVGA G2 750w / Os Windows 10 / Keyboard Corsair K70 / Mouse Razer Naga 2013 (Won it from Linus!!

The problem is that HP is known for being quite horrible.
