I am looking at no more than spending $2000 shipped. And it has to be from Amazon as I have credit with them. The games I plan on playing are rpg's, rts, first person shooters (a few of them like BF3), no sports and hardly any racing. I also plan on doing video editing. So please don't suggest a gaming console. This computer is going to be my main go to for just about everything from gaming to productivity to entertainment and everything in between. If you can find something better priced and will play and do all I can, please feel free to place a link in your response. 5 points to a helpful response! Oh and no macs, I'm not a mac hater, it's just the computer must have a numberpad built in and it seems none of the macbooks have one built in. Thanks!
Figured I would add more details since I figured one might not want to look at the link:

I might also add, the laptop MUST come from Amazon, as I have credit through Amazon only. I can spend upto $2500 at Amazon. But want to keep it below that due to any shipping charges and I may need to get a new bag for the laptop. Thanks.
Answer
That would be perfect to play shooter games, don't worry, it should be able to play on high/max settings! As for vid processing, the quad core i7 should make it quick to render the video so that means it will be able to be a good video editor also!
The laptop will suit your needs fine.

What would be the best laptop for video editing?

I know this is a very general question, but in your opinion, what would be the best laptop for under $1300 that is good for video editing (I would also use it for school work, web browsing, movies and music)?
But couldn't I get a much better quality laptop with much better components thats not a mac for cheaper?
Answer
Well, I hear a lot of good about Apple, and I am sure they are good for video editing, but Mac's are generally expensive.
If you prefer to get a PC, I know the perfect one for you. It's an HP Pavilion dv6000 (also called the "HP Pavilion Entertainment PC"). It cost me $1209 with all tax, but included a free HP all-in-one printer (scanner, etc). There are many free inclusive programs. There is this one called Cyberlink Power Producer, it is by far the best I've used yet. I made a full DVD for my friend's birthday, with content about her. It has a full DVD menu, custom background of her & me, and I chose which scene I want on each page, and the style of buttons, etc. I even have background music on the menu. It allows me to make scenes, add subtitles, add transition effects, add audio, add music, add video, pictures, etc. You can even add effects such as snowfall, water rippling, and much much more. You can capture content directly from the program, as there is a built in webcam & microphones. You can even capture content from video cameras that are attached to the comp, it automatically detects theme. I honestly love this computer, and I look forward to producing even more videos. Even if you are just doing something simple, it can do it. It can extract audio from video too. Also, you can save as many file types, depending on what you are making (DVD video, data disc, etc.)
And the laptop has 250GB hard drive, and 3GM RAM, never lags, runs smooth. Also has a fingerprint scanner, works amazingly. My HP laptop is intended for my next 5 years of university, so I do expect it to last :) And it has many free programs, I still haven't tried them all yet.
