which gaming/editing laptop should I buy?

Dude Asus 750 JZ is basically the best single GPU gaming laptop on the market and would do just as brilliantly in editing as well. Just get the Asus.
 
If you have to go with a branded laptop go with the asus, I have heard so many good reviews and I would recommend it as it is a very reliable brand as I have one from the N series. An alternative is to go to pc specialist and configure your laptop and they generally are better as you can upgrade easily, not to say that the asus cannot be upgraded easily but they charge more for the brand.
 


Thats a good laptop but it can get noisy and hot while gaming as it is very slim
