Is this a good laptop for me?

For $1400, its not too bad of a laptop for what you want it to do. You can keep the desktop as a backup just in case something happens to the laptop and you need do to something. (maybe do a weekly backup of your stuff from laptop to desktop just in case)

As for gaming, it depends on what video card it has and what games you typically play. Post what video card it has or just post a direct link to where you saw it.

But other then that, for $1400, its a good price for what you posted. With what you want to do, it should be fine.
