Laptop Advice

[Garia68]

I'm looking at finally getting a now laptop. I have been using a Lenovo T61p with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, nVidia 570fx, 4GB DDR2 memory, and a 500 GB 5400 RPM HHD, and a Intel 802.11 a/g/n wirless card.

I'm thinking of the ASUS G75VW.

I do play games but I am not a serious gamer. I do some photo editing and also programming. I want another laptop that will be as reliable as my T61p and last for 4+ years while still being able to handle the latest games.
