Yo, that laptop's not the 'best laptop one can buy'. It's completely subjective and use-case specific. For example, my previous laptop had an i7 2670qm and a 6770m gpu, but was quite heavy. That forced me to replace it, for mobile use, with a 13 inch retina macbook pro (which cost 1500 dollars. ) Also, it's worth noting that the laptop Zekes mentioned is using a weaker cpu and a similar gpu to my old laptop. That ASUS laptop is 3 generations outdated in both the cpu and gpu. If you're getting a new gaming laptop, I recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GE60-Apache--033-15-6-Inch/dp/B00IMTQ44W/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415144941&sr=1-12&keywords=gtx+870m Yes, it uses a gtx 850m, but unless you're willing to spend north of 1500 dollars, this is quite a good deal. It still crushes the gtx 560m in the ASUS gaming laptop, which is even more impressive considering the sub 1200 dollar cost of the msi laptop. Don't forget the msi apache also has a much newer, powerful, power efficient, and feature rich Intel processor. But seriously, just build your own desktop. Just my 2 cents.
