I'll be buying a laptop and I'm having hard time on deciding what of these units that I will buy. I'm still a student and interested in Photoshop, Web Designing, Editing Videos, a bit of Programming and some games. Which of these best suited for me?

Of the group, I think the Asus K42JR-VX051R is probably the most well rounded. It's main advantage is that it comes with 4gb of RAM which you will want. None of them will be all that well suited for gaming though. Do you have a particular budget in mind?

their prices range's from Php35,000-39,000 ($700-800)

What site are you trying to buy from? I don't want to recommend something from the USA in case it isn't available by you.

As a general rule, if you want to play some of today's newer games you should look for at least either an ATI Radeon HD5650 or a NVidia GeForce GT 330M.

If you can find it, the Asus N81VP would be a decent choice (around 800 USD).

I certainly don't want to steer you away from the other laptops. The 5470 in them will be ok for gaming, just don't expect miracles. If you want to look at how it performs, take a look here: http/www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5470.23698.0.html
It should be ok for games at medium to low settings on lower resolutions.
