Most suitable laptop/laptop brand for a student/gamer?

Love'n'Hat

First of all, I really don't know much about laptops. I've been thinking about buying a new one for quite a while and obviously want to get a good deal for my money. I'm a student, so MS Word, Excel, etc are necessities along with a good RAM. I'm also a gamer, not hardcore enough to crave for Alienware but I want a decent graphics card and HD screen. I prefer Windows over Macs, but tbh that's not my biggest concern.

Also I wasn't sure if I wanted a laptop or a desktop as desktops are much better, but I'm still contemplating on that. Please let me know about any recommendations you have, either a certain laptop, a brand or a desktop, I'd greatly appreciate the help. I apologise for being a little vague too, I know just enough about PC's to get me through life. >_>
@Shredder7; Oh right, the budget. I guess I'm willing to spend around £800 on the laptop, £900 if I'm pushing it. MS 2010 and decent Security will probably cost me another £100 at least, so I'd prefer the laptop/desktop to not go over £1000. Laptops are what I'm mainly focusing on though. I think £800 is around $1200?

If you want a laptop with a good gpu you will spend lots of money. $800+

I don't want a Mac, but what other brands are good for a high school student to buy? My max price would probably be $1000.

I will suggest you to buy ASUS N61JV-X2 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown)
This is the most decent choice because amongst new arrivals the hp and sony have a very bad makeup thus the only choice which remains is asus
