What Will You Be Doing? (Gaming,Work,Video editing, etc.): Programming, Image editing, some video editing(once a year short clips) I will also run virtual machines almost every week.
If gaming, what games? What FPS at what settings would you like?: LoL, EE nothing more 'intense'
Laptop or Desktop?: An 15" or bigger laptop

I just wonder what will suit me, at the lowest price(and use it at least 5 years)

This one would be great for the task at $1,499 but if you want cheaper then I would go with this .

Both of these would do the task. The Asus N550JK-DB74T would do great in image editing and video editing due to the GPU. It would also run programming programs like Dreamweaver or C# and many others. The Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga will also do the job but a little bit under performance than the Asus. The Lenovo is slim and can be easily tranported if you travel a lot. It's also touchscreen which would be great if you like to draw when image editing.

Don't get too carried away, he doesn't need an i7 gaming laptop when the most intensive thing he's going to be doing is playing EE with some rare light video editing. A nice i3 just using integrated graphics should be plenty.

How we can trust you that the computer will really be working perfectly fine? Can you show us one of yours works?

Sweet build except for that graphics card. I had that one but I had to switch to the MSI one. Too many problems with Asus.

What kind of problems? Can't say I've noticed any except a huge stuttering issue on the Dying Light demo. Dying Light had a memory leak problem that sent the VRAM usage just over the 3.5GB mark, but thankfully they've patched that now.

I kept getting a black screen when trying to play Crysis 3. Everything was up to date and plugged in. Once I switched to the MSI one everything was great.

I have a dual monitor setup with a 1680x1050 display and a CRT monitor I've had since ~2002.

Before this, I had been using the dead HP computer that my monitor's sitting on top of now. I got it on Craigslist for $40. It had a Pentium 4 @ 3.2GHz w/ 1GB DDR RAM and a GTX 610 graphics card, and was the fastest computer I had ever owned up until that point. Once I started getting into blender more, I got tired of hijacking every computer in the house to use as part of a super weak render farm so I built a PC for the first time and it's turned out pretty well.
