Looking for a laptop/tablet for high school work/gaming

[lolgo6L]

I am looking for a decent laptop or tablet for school work, light video and photo editing, and moderate gaming, such as MOBA games and fps, like cs:go and minecraft. I travel to much to buy a desktop, and share a ps4 with my brothers. I have been thinking about the asus g751jt, as it is currently on sale, for power, but it is not as mobile as I would like it. I'm not buying a surface pro, unless the surface pro 4 comes out with dual usb 3 ports, but something like that would be fine, such as the asus t100. I don't care which brand, but decent build and sound quality is important.

I have a budget of around $2,500. Thank you.

Maybe the 

MSI Computer GS70 Stealth Pro?

How thin do you want it? Your choice of thickness will determine what I recommend.

the gs70 is a bit out of my price range

anything under 1.5 inches will be fine, if the laptop has a slope down, like 1 inch thickness at the front, and 2 inch thickness at the rear of the laptop will be fine.

Do you want 15" or 17"? Your budget is healthy enough I think for a solid system with a SSD + HDD for storage and a 2-3 year warranty.

I don't mind what size the laptop is, although 15" is more practical for my desk. As for the budget, it's really how much I currently have to spend, and at this time, it would be a bit foolish to spend that much. As for storage, I can allways upgrade later on, but an SSD + HDD would be fine.

set the following:

16GB RAM (if you want)

IC Diamond CPU + GPU

256GB Micron M600 M.2 SSD (or 512GB if you want; I avoid the samsung because the controller hits ~113 degrees Celicius under load)

3 years parts + labour Sager warranty.

 

If you pay with I think a credit card or Bank Wire Transfer, the combo I listed is just under $2000 (just under $2100 with the 512GB SSD), comes with a 1TB 7200RPM HDD, comes with a 980M (not quite a GTX 780 in power, but basically will handle pretty much any game out there anyway). You can add Windows if you want, or you can buy a copy for like $20 on G2A or something and install it yourself. Up to you; either way you get the software/drivers disc to go with it whether or not you get Windows.

Thank you for linking this, although unfortunately I don't think they ship to Australia, but I believe that there is a site like this over here.

Metabox is the website you are looking for. You may get slightly different options. Also, your budget does not stretch as far with you being in AUS. I hope you can make a compromise and still get a good machine.

 

Also, XoticPC'll ship worldwide. Getting warranty repairs done requires shipping back to them though, which is the problem.

Also, G75-BBK5 is not an appropriate suggestion. They don't even make them anymore.
