Then get the 17 inch one. It'll be good enough for those.
If it allows you, I would suggest exchanging the 5400rpm drive for the seagate momentus XT 750gig hybrid drive. If the price is manageable.

simply put a laptop will never be as fast as a desktop on the same price range.

You guys complain about "lugging" around a 17.3" laptop. Can you imagine me carrying around a desktop all around campus? Besides I already have a desktop, and guess what, I don't use it for gaming >______>
Look I seriously won't need that much GPU (at least HD 4000) or CPU power (At least 2.7ghz dual core). I just need something that's portable and has a nice screen to watch anime on. Lets start all over, do you guys have any suggestions?

keep the GPU at least if you'll watch vids, intel still has that 24p issue.
remove the blue-ray player if its still there, i doubt you'd be buying 100$ blue-ray disks to justify the player.
Edit: if you aren't using your desktop then why not sell it to gain a few more bucks? then you can bump the budget to heck 1.3k?
i saw this while looking at HP's options http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/B2P41UA?HP-Pavilion-dv6-7014nr-Entertainment-Notebook-PC

Asus eee pc.
Now then, if you seriously don't mind carrying a 17 inch laptop, get that thing. It will be more than functional for all your needs. It's not ideal, but it doesn't have to be. I also went to that website, chuck in and extra 20$, you'll get hybrid 750gig drive. That's the only upgrade you're going to feel except for getting the FHD screen for another 175$
