Recommendations on a VERY Good Laptop?

I'm trying to find a very good laptop that can play video games very good for me, and for my dad can use it as well for his job. The laptop has to be $1,300 and under, and under 20 inches long. My dad e-mailed me some info about this computer.

Here's the Link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4375943&CatId=1900 If anyone has a better recommendation please tell me. Also, do NOT just post like, "Get Hp," or, "Go to this website," so please tell me the information, and a link to the website so I can read more about it. I play games that need very good laptops to run them! Some are MMOs, and simulation games, and just others that need very good quality. I forgot, I also am making Machinimas, which are videos you make with video games for entertainment, and I'm getting Sony Vegas, and the other stuff, so I just need a lot of expert info about that as well. Reminder: A computer that can play gaming awesome, and something my dad can also use too.
