long story short im a graphic designer who uses a laptop for half my jobs so i can be mobile and not stuck in my office all week.
I have a desktop already so no need to tell me this is the backup for my sanity's sake.
I mainly just need it to use photoshop without any lag.. good screen and memory would be a plus.. im not a tablet fan, and dont need a 17 inch screen.
my budget is 1200 but the cheaper the better.. and i need to get this in the next few days.
I had my eyes on the dell xps 13 but think it may be too small for me after seeing it in person now im looking at Acer Aspire V Nitro and a few Asus models..
ive been told to stay away from gaming laptops for design work but am interested in hearing your opinions..

mmh let me think. How about you buy a MBP?!?!?!?!!?!?!
Hows that even a question? Buy a 2015 MBP and you are golden my dude.

Basically this, and I'm not even memeing. What you need is a good display/accurate colors and those are hard as fuck to come by on laptops. Next best bet would be a XPS 13 or 15.
I bought the Asus Ux510 UQ and it is better than I thought

Anything with a good IPS screen should be good
Don't fall for the apple meme if you want to have an usable computer for more than 2 years
Acers and most ASUS laptops have bad build quality too
