Just go with an Ibuypower laptop with better portability than an Alienware. It is really a tough choice considering these are all wrong answers when placed against a desktop. But I'll do what you ask:

Take $1300 and buy yourself a sleek, thin, 13" Macbook Air.

Take the rest, and put it into building your own gaming/editing machine. This way, you have a laptop that is actually portable, and a desktop that can perform the tasks that you want way better than a laptop can.

There is no such thing as a laptop that is fairly priced and can be used as such when it's intended purpose is gaming/editing. It just doesn't work.

If you want the best of both worlds, get a Macbook Pro or even the Air if you wish (with an SSD), then blow bank on an incredible gaming desktop. Gaming laptops are and always will be a poor investment, as they have no decent battery life and I can be sure that you'll use it in a desktop fashion. I can get a fantastic custom desktop build put together for you for about $1500 (if you take away the price of a Macbook).
