$800 CAD Photo Editing Notebook

I'm looking for a reasonably priced budget laptop that will be almost used exclusively for editing photos.  The internal specs aren't the most important, 7th and 8th gen i5s and i7s edit photos just fine with 8gb of ram.  I've found several options in this price point, but I'm not sure on the quality of their displays.  If this will be a complete deal breaker I can use one of my high colour accuracy monitors, but I'd prefer to have a portable option.  Battery life isn't crucial either, though I really don't need a discrete card, this isn't meant for gaming. 

The reason I want a laptop instead of a desktop, it will be used as a portable POS terminal when we visit trade shows.

I did see that, and it has pretty much everything that I need, though I feel like I don;t need the sleek form factor.  It doesn't matter what it looks like, just to be basic with a good display.  But yes, for $50 that is good.
