Reading part of your opening post would suggest to me you shouldnt be buying a laptop to do editing/gaming. From what i have read, but i could be totally wrong you want it for inbetween classes? Dude really although it says 1 hour or what ever that always get chipped away to 45minutes, or you cant be bothered. Unless you have a really good reason to buy a gaming capable laptop (work in hotels 6 months in a year type of thing) then i would save the cash, and take it from someone who found out the hard way and ended up with a $3000 door stop after 18months....................and in those 18months i prob used the full capabilities of the laptop as a laptop maybe half a dozen times. Many of us get suduced by the idea of portable gaming but most the time is not worth. Grab an iPad or something and play Baldurs Gate when you have a bit of free time, cos trust me you wont do half as much work as you think you will do.

i have an ipad and it just is not for me, too slow, extremley limited, i cant do any photoshop editing on it unless its the terrible app . . . i want it for the fact i am out at least 9 hours a day at school(college) and have on average 3-4 hours lessons plus a course im taking to learn about various programmes. i dont need it to be insanely good, just a i5 processor, 2gb dedicated memory, blu ray drive, 500gb hdd, 8 gb ram and if its possible 3D.

the suggestions are good, definately the right kind of thing, and i dont mind about size or weight. but if theres one for the £800-£1000 price brackett

Right, some of you have seen and helped me pick out the parts to a nice PC capable of gaming and editing at low cost (big thanks for that) and some have helped me pick a good pair of headphones for movies and music.

The last piece of the puzzle is a laptop that i can take to work on between classes at school, I would like to be able to do some editing (great speeds are not neccesary) just to keep me busy in my spare time out and about, and some gaming would be good, decent settings, nothing too fancy.

I have looked around and could find nearly nothing apart from the HP Envy 7

Now i have no price range because i need to know what price i am looking at for the following kind of specs:

A intel sandybridge proessor

dedicated GPU

8-12gb ram

Blu ray drive

Good screen

A 7200rpm HDD or an SSD (size does not matter really, 500-750gb is good though)

I literally can not find a non alienware/razor laptop that has the capabilities i would need.

Suggestions are much appreciated

If leaking/bleeding sound is an issue look at closed back headphones (although most for that price would be anyway).

Sennheiser HD 449 are £75 from amazon for example.

Look at brands like AKG and audiotechnica too.

Jeez lol, there are way way too many to chose from lol, how would the HD 449 be for music and movies?

I have no idea what to look for . . . like at all

Is there any good review sites that are trusty for over ear heaphones.

I have a set of the previous 448 headphones and for music the quality is superb, tight punchy bass and really nice isolated from the outside world feel on my ears.

I dont use them for movies but i cant see how they would sound bad though based on how good they are for music.

Thats good to hear, because the look of the HD449 is the best out of the lot (in my opinion) and its a good price so i think i will pick up a pair.

Ok i think i have it narrowed down

Based purley on sound quality which of these looks the best buy?

HD449

HD 380

so is it worth it for the £400? or is there better?

Also if not leaking sound sacrafices quality then I would rather have the better quality sound
