Hello everyone
I am trying to buy a laptop, but there are so many that i dont know which one to choose. i have finally narrow it down to 7 laptops after checking a bunch online. But out of this 7, i am not sure which one i should pick, help me out here plz. The ones i like so far are: The Sony Vaio VPCF13AFX/B, the Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q896, Alienware M15X, Asus G73JW-A1, Asus G73JH-B1, Asus G51JX-A1 and Asus G53JW. I want my laptop to play games and also to work, it is common for me to make process simulations and use microsoft word and powerpoint at the same time, i also expect for the battery to work more than 2 hours. Here is a little information about the specifications about each laptop together with a little comment about what i think:

My favorite two are the the ones from the G73 series from ASUS, but i am not sure if this brand is trustworthy about making laptops that could last more than 4 years as are toshiba, alienware and sony vaio, and since i am trying to buy a powerful laptop to last at least 3 years this is really important to me.
Thanks in advance.
