Looking for a new laptop for video and photo editing/ the occasional game. Here are the ones I've found. (Price range around £1000)

The last 3 I will change to a 1tb hard drive. 

Also ive read that the y700's screen  has poor back lighting but other than that is very good.

I have thought about the 7559, and I was going to look at one this weekend to see if i like it.

those are clevo rebrands (except the Y700) and a 965m is a pretty big upgrade from a 960m

Yeah, the p406 is the most expensive but I can get a student discount so I think its worth it.

How do you get student discount? I can't find it on their website.

The second and fourth machine you linked are actually the same machine btw, just so you know, but usually I would recommend PCSpecialist over XMG as they are somewhat cheaper, but PCSpecialist usually has a lesser selection for parts.

You have to email them with your student id and acceptance letter from your uni and they send you a 5% discount code.

yeah PC specialist is cheaper but I if im able to use a student discount they basically come out to be the same price even though the XMG has better specs.

Do you know of any other places that offer student discount?

Not really, the best way to find out is to just drop them an email, but I know Scan doesn't offer a student discount.
