Because i always take ages to make up my mind, i have now almost! decided on the laptop system im going for.

a high (for me) but nice and even number
Im mainly going to be using it for everyday tasks such as writing and editing documents but also watching films, Youtube, other streaming and most likely doing it with 500 tabs open at once! but i also want to do a bit of MMO gaming which will be most demanding and also point click adventure games(which is less so! ). im planning on using this for the next 5 years. i know most demanding games will put the gpu at shame after a while, but just want to make sure it will be nice for multitasking a lot of different low spec applications, for the foreseeable future, really.
would really appreciate any advice or suggestions or just a nice thumbs up but please be critical also. its alot of money after all!
