New Gaming Laptop Spec

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a laptop for around £1000/$1500 but can stretch a little if needed.

Heres the spec's that i'm looking for:
Intel Processor around 2.5Ghz+
4Gb of Ram
Nvidia 512Mb Graphics card
15.4 Inch screen
Portable 3Kg or less
HD Screen 1920x1080
320 or 500Gb Harddrive
Battery life that's decent but not overally important
Webcam
Any laptop brand will do, as long as it has a good reputation

What it will be doing;
HD Video editing
3DsMax
Games such as Counter Strike Source (Over 100fps), Cs 1.6, Assassins Creed, F.E.A.R, TF2 and other games. Medium settings is fine on all apart from Counter Strike Source that will be all on low.
Web Browsing, playing music and playing games simultaneously so having a multi-core would be preferable.

I'm from the UK, if that makes any difference.

I've looked at;
Asus G50v
Sony Vaio -But run on ATi and have bad gaming ratings
Saeger - Seems good, but very desktop replacement and I want something that is portable and these are beefy

But I don't want to have missed something, or find that a particular laptop has bad review that I couldn't find on google. I'm leaning towards the Asus G50v!

Thanks, much appreciated ^^

I think the G50V would be a good buy. I have an Asus (though a budget one, not that one sadly!) and the 2 year warranty is nice to have, too.

There's a good concise review of the machine here if you're interested:

Yeh i've already read a few reviews on the laptop and it seems like a safe buy.

Well that was easy =]

There is no point to put css on all low settings to achieve the highest fps 100+, because the human eyes can only see a maximum of 60 fps, anything above 60 would be a waste.

Actually, that's not true. Right now I can't find the exact study I read earlier where pilots demonstrated the ability to detect up to 200+ frames per second, but there is enough research and anecdotal evidence that demonstrates sensitivity to much higher frame rates than 60 fps.

Even if the eyes can see 200+ frames per second, but chances are the display of the laptop can achieve a max refresh rate of 75Hz. "When Vsync is Off you may gain a few fps but the tearing is noticeable even on the best displays. This is because the monitor is limited in how many fps it can display at particular resolutions, so any higher and you're really seeing parts of images at 200fps for example, not the whole image."

Vsync is something you def. don't want on if you're playing online.
