What laptop specs should I get for...

My brother is looking to pick up a new laptop, but he's feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the different specs out there—he really needs some guidance to find the right fit for his specific needs. To make things easier for everyone, I've put together a few details to help narrow down the search.
The computer will be used strictly for:
1 - Browsing Meta
2 - Occasional, basic photo editing in Adobe Photoshop

He'd like to keep the budget under $3,000 $0.00 and needs something he can actually pick up locally in San Francisco
I've been browsing online and found a few models myself, so if anyone could point us toward a good recommendation or a reliable seller, I’d truly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

If you've got $3,000 to drop at Best Buy, this is hands down your best bet. Honestly, just pick whichever one you like more; they're basically identical except for the hard drive. Dell gives you the standard 3-year warranty, but if you go with Toshiba, you can check their terms here:

That’s also 3 years, plus you get NMWT during the first year...
