So my 5 year old Toshiba laptop is fried and Im in need of a new laptop. Im pretty newbie in computer stuff so I need some recommendation.

I dont care about touch screen. Screen size at least 15", dont care about numeric keypad.
Portability not a big issue, though I rather not type on something thats as thick as an encyclopedia.
I need a machine that can handle moderate gaming- I want to finish Hitman Absolution! Plus something that can handle light Photoshopping.

Price, preferably under $800. I prefer to buy instore too, or something with free delivery from a reputable company.

What about the following models?
Asus K55vd http://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers/asus/k55vd-sx071h-15-inch…
Asus K55A http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XC8591/asus-k55a-sx006h-note…

    Neither of those models will be much good for gaming, look for something with a 7670m or 630m or better.

      a HD screen is rather poor value for the money

      its all about FHD these days
