About to buy a gaming laptop, need some advice.

Hey guys,

I am about to buy a gaming laptop but I need some advice on what will be the best for me.

My budget is around $1100 AUD
I am wanting the screen size to be 15.6inch or anything over that.
I'm not sure what screen resolution is the best, but I just want it to be HD
I want something that is both portable and can replace my old desktop, so I don't want anything to bulky but it can be kind of large.
It needs to have a good battery life as I will be using it a lot when I am travelling and don't have access to a charger.
I am wanting to play games on it, preferably on high settings.
I will also be using the laptop for school, for things like video editing, writing essays, and video editing.
I would like anything that has around a 1TB hard drive.
I don't mind what website it is bought from, but I would like it to be Australian.
I am wanting to keep the laptop for several years, so would like something 'future-proof' when it comes to gaming.
In terms of optical drive, I just want something that will be able to read standard DVD's.
I live in Australia, and would like to buy from an Australian website if available to cut down on shipping times and prices.

I am currently looking at the HP G Series 15-E013AX, found here: http/www.harveynorman.com.au/hp-pavilion-g-series-15-e013ax-laptop.html

Is this a good laptop, or should I consider something else?

I do not believe that laptop has enough power to play games on high settings what games are you looking at?

My friend has the same laptop, he is able to play BF3 on high settings at around 30fps.

I am wanting to play FPS games mostly, but also games like SimCity, and some RPG games.
