New, thin, 15-16 inch laptop?

I'm looking to buy a new laptop for college. I will mostly be browsing the web, using microsoft office, and using photoshop (lightly). My main requirements are

1) THIN AND LIGHT

2) 15-16 inches

3) Shouldn't exceed $900

4) Nice trackpad/keyboard

I have been researching a little, and i have found laptops such as

1) Sony Vaio EB Series

2) Acer AS5742-7120

3) HP Pavillion dm4t

4) Lenovo Thinkpad EDGE 15

5) Asus U45Jc

Can you think of any more recommendations? I have decided against buying a macbook.

Thanks!

    I'd take the Thinkpad since they generally have excellent keyboards. A T510 Thinkpad would be better in my opinion, but I'd take the Edge over the others. Sony would be second choice since they also have great keyboards.

    Acers have terrible keyboards if a good keyboard is important to you. I'd definitely avoid them.
