I am looking at buying a new laptop. It will be used for the following:
-School
-Gaming (Skyrim, Minecraft w/ shaders, Battlefield 3, Black Ops 2)
-Recording Gameplay
-Video editing (nothing too big)

I am thinking of buying this laptop:
http://asuslaptop.com/proddetail.php?prod=Asus_K55VD-SX071V-8GB_Laptop

Summary of specs:
Intel Core i5-3210M 2.5GHz Dual-Core
15.6" Display
8 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Hard Disk 500gb (I don't care about this, I have a 2.5TB external drive)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 610M 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Would this laptop be a good choice? Any advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Not with these games in mind. If you can stretch your budget a little bit, have a look ay PC Specialist and configure your own. The Genesis IV in the following configuration costs £564/€693 (plus delivery):



Comes with a 3 yr warranty, save 100 yoyos if you don't need the operating system.

The GT 640M looks a lot better:





And if that's not enough, you'll better look for a GTX 660M.

That looks very good! Thanks a million! I might just invest that way!
