Thanks both for the responses.

Are you going to be using those programs often (hours a day)?
It'll be a personal computer that I use occasionally for work, but I'd still like whichever laptop I choose to be able to handle those programs smoothly. I probably won't finalize work from it, but I'd like to be able to have set up a nice workflow on it when need be.
Any gaming would be Fallout/Fallout 2 as a time killer in the airport; nothing intensive.
Other than that, it'll be used for the typical watch movies, browse internet, Microsoft Office usage, etc.

Does it have to be from Costco?
Not necessarily. It just seemed after searching Newegg, Amazon, and Costco to be the best bang for the buck.

Here are a few options that can give you the best of both of those HPs:
Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 for $969: LINK
You'd likely pay sales tax at costco, so this laptop would work out to be cheaper than the HP. 1080P, 4700MQ, dedicated graphics card (GT 745M), a tiny SSD likely to use a cache and Intel RST, and a Blu-Ray burner thrown in for whatever reason.
If you aren't focused on 16GB of RAM (which might be overkill unless you can give me a technical explanation or an observed and quantified scenario in which you can and have exceeded 8GB of RAM), there's this HP envy for $819 after rebate: LINK
Not quite 1080p (1600x900, so higher res than the other HP with the Intel), and perhaps the screen is a bit bigger than you would want (17").
i7-4700MQ
12GB RAM
Also comes with this tablet for free
