Thinking about getting a new laptop

I am thinking of getting a new laptop. My current one is the Lenovo G575 and it's ok but has the common problem of screws falling out and one of the hinges is slightly loose and opening the side up a little bit. Also, sometimes it is a bit slow.
Ideally the new laptop would be able to cope with me using Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements plus all the normal usage.

A dab of Loctite would be cheaper than a new laptop surely?!

And then speed it up with CCleaner, or follow the guide on the sticky.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
I don't want to tamper with it plus I want something that can cope with the software I use a lot as I will be making lots of videos, online magazine, intro things etc.
I'm not at a loss to be honest as I didn't buy the current laptop. Someone bought it for me. I already did the CCleaner too0 -
a new hinge (if that's what is required), and a windows reinstall (to cure the speed) is far cheaper. ccleaner wont make any difference, see the speedup sticky thread above.!!
