Half-Life Fallout: Which laptop? - Half-Life Fallout

I'm in the market for a new laptop cos this one im using now is...crap =[. It has to be a laptop because I do a fair amount of travelling and dont stay on the same spot for long.

Before I show the two I've picked out so far I'd like to state what I'll be using this for and that is, Video editing and Gaming, More specifically ArmA 2, Fallout 3 (maybe New Vegas) and anything else that catches my eye so yes I'm gonna need a pretty powerful laptop here's the two I've found that people have said are good enough for my purposes only I want more opinions on this so I dont go wasting money =].

Laptop 1:
Toshiba Satellite A660-11M £899.99

Intel Core i7-720QM 1.6GHz (or up to 2.8GHz with Turbo Boost Technology...what ever the hell that is?)
2.5 GT/s DMI
6MB Smart Cache
4GB DDR3 Ram (I can easily upgrade this though)
NVIDIA GeForce GT330M - 1GB
16" screen (1366 x 768)
500GB SATA HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium

Laptop 2:
Sony Vaio VPC-F12X £1,479.00

Intel Core i7-740QM 1.73GHz
6GB DDR3-SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT330M - 1GB
16" (1920 x 1080)
640GB SATA HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium.

I'd go with the Vaio, especially if you're trying to run Arma 2 (good boy).

hmm, i have a pretty high end vaio laptop and even if it's specs are pretty good I'm not sure it's worth the price. and the graphics card isn't that great. (i found out i can run blur at only 15 fps even with graphics set as low as possible )

Unless there's something substantial that you haven't listed it's nearly £600 (66% more) for a marginally faster processor, 2GB more RAM and a higher resolution screen?

No thanks, i'll take the Toshy.
