Laptop purchase and My Cloud storge question.

This looks good but the screen size is 12.3". For me, this is too small when viewing Lightroom full screen.
I thought I would have that problem but I don't. I can do just about anything on the 12.3" that I can do on my 24 inch screens.
It's hard to read the small fonts/icons in LR/PS on my laptop but then I can't put a desktop in my suitcase/backpack either.

there are many laptops with both ssd and regular hard drive (be sure the HD is 7200 speed)
Take a look at B&H photo ... very reliable company ... and see this link.

Expensive though. I read some of the reviews and I'm worried about getting one that has all those problems. Especially where the screen goes black and requires a hard restart. Eventually I'll get one. My desktop has 3 SSD's and one regular hard drive. I just hate it when they are always sleeping and when accessed it stalls for quite a while before giving access.

I would like to lower the cost of a new laptop that will be used mainly for Photoshop CC. I was looking at Gaming laptops configured:
Intel i7 quad processor, 16GB DDR4, Nvidia 960M 4GB, 15.6 or 17" screen, 1 TB HD + 256 SSD. cost about $1350 and up.
I was reading about WD's My Cloud for storage using WiFi. No USB wires to connect. Would it be practical to drop the internal Hard Drive from the laptop purchase, and to use the My Cloud for photo storage, music, and documents instead? SSD only for start up and programs? I could perhaps save some $$.

Fast machine! Unless you have space considerations, go with the larger screen.
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 15 7559. Its specifications are almost exactly what you mention: SSD for programs, and 1TB HDD for data. i7 processor, 16GB memory. Win 10 64 bit. 15" 4K touchscreen.
Runs PS CC perfectly. Is fast. And here is what pleases me most: the screen. Unlike older laptop screens, it is insensitive to angle of view. Moving your head up and down does not change the picture. I did not think I would use the touchscreen feature at all, but I am finding myself trying to use my (non touchscreen) monitor as a touchscreen when I move back to my desktop. This computer is not cheap, but is very well done. As with most computers, there are a few quibbles, but they are so minor I keep forgetting what they are. I'll have to write them down next time they bug me.
