I've been researching new laptops and I've come between 2 options, with a possible 3. The primary use for these laptops would be gaming, film editing, and audio editing. It seems the Asus is the best for the price, but I'm not sure of company reputations or upgradability for the future. Any thoughts on what would be best is appreciated.

1.

All I know is that the guys over at Notebook Review recommend the NP8651 over just about anything else in that price range. No matter what you decide on, I would go for nothing less than the GTX 970M.
