I was looking for a laptop to use photoshop, illustrator and indesign with a color accurate display but I every laptop that I found has a dedicated graphics card for gaming like 1050 ti or 1060 and I don't really need that since my desktop has one. The laptop that ive been using has integrated graphics and it works fine but the display kills me and I have to check the images opening them with a phone  or another computer to check the real color :S. Can someone suggest me some laptops to buy?(budget under 1000$)

Thanks in advance! 

XPS 13/15

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Tbh I would take a gaming laptop that suits my budget as gaming laptops are definitely the best you can have at any budget range.

What you need is an accurate color representation though and I believe going for an IPS panel and preferably a 4k one would really help you with that, although its hard to make a blanket statement on the screens out there without having tested all of them.
why don't you work your way from a comparison list of under $1000 laptops and narrow down your options from there and then see which screen suits you better? See if this helps you with that https://www.noflufftech.com/best-gaming-laptop-under-1000/

 

I would personally go with an Acer Helios 300 in that range though. But if you are strictly into a non gaming laptop then XPS 13/15 like suggested by Streetguru is the right choice I believe.

I don't really care about the weight, display size from 13 to 15.6 inch would be fine and battery life around 5-6 hours would be acceptable but anyway I will be using it almost always close to a wall outlet
