Im buying a laptop and i have no idea what should i buy. I need to be able to do my homework (small scale video and picture editing, scripting maybe 3d modeling and those kinds of stuff). I would like to play a few games too, like gta v when the pc version comes. The screen should be something like 17'' and maybe even bigger. And the longer the battery lasts the better. . It should last at least 5 years whitout changing any parts. This is a rough description of what kind of computer it should be, can anybody recommend anything? If anybody can say what kind of parts should it have that would be good too.
