I'm looking to buy a laptop in the next week but I am having trouble deciding between these four:

Asus N550JK

Asus N551JK
http://www.microcenter.com/product/438186/N551JK-MH71_1...

Asus N56JN

Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The Acer looks great but there aren't any reviews out yet so I'm not sure if I should get it.
I will be doing some video editing in Sony Vegas, light gaming (The Sims 2-3), watching netflix, and college/general use. My main concerns are the keyboard, build quality, and screen. I want something that will last for 3 years or more. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Acer hands down, has one of the best processors out there and a great graphics card. If i had the budget for it I'd buy it for myself. It could run more demanding games than just the sims.

The only reason I'm hesitant to get the Acer is because I've heard not so great things about their build quality. This laptop looks great otherwise. I may just take a risk and get it anyway.

Thanks for replying!

I would go for this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Its got the right amount of performance to last you for a long time at the same time it should be able to play sims 2/3 and do video editing with ease. The other 3 are better in terms of specs but since you are not a hardcore gamer, they are not worth the money. Plus geforce cards don't make that much of an impact on video editing.
