So I just graduated from high school and I guess relatives decide that now is a good time to throw money at me. I've had enough money to afford a pretty decent laptop for a while but now I can finally splurge.

My budget is around $1300 with specs similar to the links below (i.e. i7 for sure with at least a 750GB HDD w/ a small SDD). And please don't tell me to build a gaming PC myself; yes, it would be way cheaper but I need the portability for college.

EDIT: I don't necessarily need it to run demanding games but I will be using it to do video editing, Photoshop work, C4D, and AutoCAD/Revit. Currently, my computer stiffens when I open up Minesweeper.

It's tough to commit to any laptop when it is such a huge purchase so I'm trying to get as much input as I can. Thank you in advance!

Definitely the second one. But, sorry for saying this, build your own PC because it is cheaper and better, and you feel accomplished when you finish building it.
