Upgrading to a new laptop, not sure what to buy.

[AustinSteven17]

Hello! This will be my first post on these forums. I'm looking to buy a new laptop as the title says and my budget is around 1800 but I could go up to 2000 if necessary. I'll be doing some heavy gaming and multi-tasking so something like a 1070 is what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something with good cooling that can take anything I throw at it I was looking at a MSI GE73VR (http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-ge73vr-raider-045.html) but I'd like to ask some other more experienced people. before I drop near $2,000 on a laptop. Thanks for any help in advance!

Why do you need a laptop?

I'm looking for a video editing/gaming rig for college and a desktop isn't possible since I need the portability.

You probably aren't going to game or video edit in college, only probably schoolwork, you can get any laptop for that. The money can instead be spent on a gaming/editing PC at the dorm.

 

Also, don't forget to quote people.

Oh, alright thanks. I was hoping to get a laptop for portability since I won't be staying at the dorm, I've decided to drive (about 20 min trip) since I work in my town. Do you have any laptops you might be able to recommend?

Aero 14(15?) or maybe an Alienware or Razer Blade.
