looking at your usage, i would say it's better you go for G75VX, for a number of reasons (mainly about future upgrades, as i think video editing/full HD recordings can be resource-hogging):
1. it has SSD and HDD combo (2 HDD bays; both SATA III 6gb/s). SSD boosts OS and app load times significantly (i.e. you will spend a lot less time waiting for something to happen), and the HDD is mainly for storage or scratch disk.
2. it has 4 RAM slots. the good thing about this is when you wish to have more RAM, you can always upgrade the two in the user serviceable area that you can access freely and without voiding warranty. officially it says you can have 16gb; but unofficially, you can go to the maximum that your CPU can handle, i.e. 32gb. with this amount of RAM i can set up a 8 to 16gb RAM disk easily for video rendering work.
3. it has a very good cooling system, so it can withstand long hours of work loads at room temperature.

all these (good cooling and horse power, with enough space for future upgrades) might make it run longer before you buy a new one for work purposes.
there are downsides to a g75, too; but i think corrections should have been in place for some of them in this new model of g-series, compared to G75VW:
1. it uses the dedicated GPU for display; there is no Optimus technology that can make use of CPU's built-in HD graphic for battery power savings;
2. for some, it's a heavy beast (4.5kg vs. 3.4kg).
3. it needs more power (180w vs. 90w)

The N isn't even close.
If you Must go portable And do the things you
want to .. the choice is clear - G.
This of course is not your best option for video
rendering/gaming -- just the one thats portable/self contained.
If the specs are correct and the price holds on the BestBuy site
then the vx with 670 gpu for $1200us ???
(Add some memory .. save for an ssd .. good to go.)
Welcome to ROG .. nice entrance.c.
