He everyone, I'm new here. I've been looking around for a new laptop for gaming but my main limitation is size. Since I also have to use whatever laptop I buy for school and my other activities as well, I need something more on the portable side.

Just basic school/life related things, writing essays, editing pictures/video, playing music yadda yadda

Hello and welcome to the forums ! :)
Sager NP8150 is a decent choice,customize it with either GTX 580M/HD 6990M and you're ready to go!
Customize it from www.malibal.com

Hi, I actually came upon the Sager NP8150 myself while doing a quick search myself. I customized to to my liking, all came in at around $1750 and at 15.6". I purchased it directly from the Sager website. The computer hasn't actually arrived yet, it should come during the week, but I would recommend Sager for anyone looking for a custom laptop with specific needs! Thanks for the reply.
