Best laptop recommendation (no max budget!!)

Ok so here's the deal, My grades have been terrible throughout my high school career. I'm about a quarter of the way through my senior year and I have almost all A's. My dad was so surprised that he said if I got a 4.0 GPA  He would get me ANY laptop I wanted. So now comes the search for the most costly laptop I can get my hands on. It's easy to find the most expensive laptop but I want this to be fairly realistic for college. so things like the Acer preditor 21x are probably not a good option. Any recommendations? (I'm going to be doing some editing and gaming and I don't want it to be huge because of college and such)  Anything helps! Thanks!

The water-cooled laptop that Linus reviewed would be good. It's not insanely thick, and can still achieve decent performance all while also doubling as a desktop.

Thing you should look for in my opinion :

1) Water Proof  ( Beer on laptop, very bad )

2) Drop proof  You drop a Mac Book and by by money and files

3) Security , Make sure to have and app in case it get;s stolen. and Anti Virus

4) Encryption Make all your file are backup and encrypted. Losing a term paper could be very bad. 

 

If price is no object go for a business type.
