just normal use may be a bit of light to mid gaming and small projects with photoshop i also want to try and work with adobe video editors i'm a student after all

honestly, all of these laptops are really just designed for web browsing and office. none of them are going to be able to play current aaa games. some indie games, but not current high end games. 

i would go with this one:

hp i5-7200u 8gb ddr4 1tb amd radeon r7 m440 4gb ddr3 760.52 usd

mainly, they are all about the same and it is cheaper. but this one has enough ram and dedicated gpu to do some light gaming. the 7500u model just has a higher clock cpu, it is not worth an extra $120. it is a dual core cpu, so video editing will be a challenge.

the 8250u is a 4 core/8 thread cpu. but with integrated graphics and 4gb of ram, those will be your bottlnecks in most cases. the extra threads will help with video editing, over the other cpus, but you may have issues due to limited ram. please check below with your carrier

so i would recommend sennheiser hd800 i own and costs 1000 usd...
otherwize, for open back headphones, there is a wide range from akg, sennheiser, grado which are optimized for home use and do not cancel noise from outside. the disadvantage being the people around you also get a fair degree of spill from your headphones. they are also usually more builky and heavy, but most of them very comfortable to use.
i recommand cheaper headphones as well:
koss porta pro (is unbelievably cheap for its audio quality and easy to transport)
akg k142hd
akg k702

akg has a tendency to have less bass, sennheiser rather a bit too much subbass... opinions...
for sennheiser consider hd588 neither of them. much higher specs than you actually need. core i3 with 8 gb ddr ram and an ssd hd all for less than $500 should be more than enough for your uses. you likely will. since to request a refund or exchange you need to email the webstore i would request an exchange for another phone instead. hello @jonijb,

 

excellent question! it will be my pleasure to assist you!

 

currently the only unlimited plan option to support hotspot is our at&t unlimited plus plan. this provides 10gb per line for smartphone and tablets. our other unlimited options do not have the hotspot feature available

 

i hope this helps!
