I would stay away from Dell no matter how good their specs are. Dells have always had a tendency to overheat quite fast even while not gaming or doing anything extensive. I would also stay away from Sony VAIO's as they have many models which seem to be recalled...The last recall was of like 325,000 units. As someone stated before, your best bet for a computer with what you want to do is an Asus G-Series laptop. A good choice is this guy : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220921 . It has enough power which should suit your needs and the graphics chip is definitely a monster inside. The top brands to go with for laptops are (believe it or not) Acer, MSI and Asus. Hope this helps :D.
