Talking Which Laptop will you buy

Ok i recently got the urge to buy a laptop(my first laptop that is) so i am being very picky and a little bit scared at the same time. Scared because i don't want to spend alot on something which isn't worth it. So i am asking out you guys to help me decide which laptop is best for me. I want a powerful laptop to play latest games, burn cds/dvds, connect my laptop to my tele to watch movies which are on my, run photoshop, msn, wmp and so on. I recently read a description by another user here and my requirements are almost the same. Heres what vxdesigns posted

"In a nutshell i will be using my laptop to watch movies,listen to music,planning on playing high graphics/quality previous,current and future games, run appz like photoshop,frontpage, burn dvds and cds at high fast/speed without leeching all of my system ram and cpu usage, want to connect my laptop to my tv to watch movies (with good quality/speed) from my notebook

Now lets put yourself in my situation and keeping my requirements and needs in mind which laptop would you choose ? You can also narrow it down to 2 or 3 laptops instead of just one. Also provide the reason for your selection. Thanks alot
