Perfect cheap Thinkpad for a writer's second computer?

So I've used mac's for most of my life, and for my publishing business, I need one. That being said, I hate the keyboards on the new macs, and for a laptop, the thinkpad keyboard is perfect. Window's 10 does have the software I need for a coffee shop writing device, but looking at prices, I'm wondering what will fill my needs. I want a good 14 inch screen, decent battery life, and the ability to use photoshop. I want an SSD inside too, and while I love the x1 carbon's, I'd love a cheaper machine. Advice on what I should get? Help me out! I'd love to keep my budget sub $500 if that's possible, but i'm just curious what the sub thinks would be best for this. Also, if there's some killer thinkpad but it's not great for photoshop, i'd be flexible removing that from my list of wants.
