I've spent hours configuring the badass laptops of my dreams (at around a $1500 price range) but can't decide which one is the best! It seems like they all have similar specifications but I'd like some feedback, particularly on these 5 areas. As a sidenote, I need my laptop to be a gaming monster, so if any of these won't be able to play games like crysis let me know!
1) If this will hold on for for 5 years until I'm out of college.
2) Which is the rigs is the most bang for the buck.
3) The respective companies and their reliability.
4) How the graphics cards compare. (REALLY IMPORTANT!)
5) How the processors compare.
ALSO, if you can direct me to better deals that would also be of interest, but overall I really just want to know which is the best laptop.

I really love the warranty and the size of the HP laptop but I'm concerned as to whether or not the processor and graphics card are lacking
Thanks in advance!
1) If this will hold on for for 5 years until I'm out of college.
2) Which is the rigs is the most bang for the buck.
3) The respective companies and their reliability.
4) How the graphics cards compare. (REALLY IMPORTANT!)
5) How the processors compare.
ALSO, if you can direct me to better deals that would also be of interest, but overall I really just want to know which is the best laptop.
