OK, I am a self taught, mostly play by ear to myself in my basement , acoustic guy kinda guy. Most of what I play is country but I dive into some other stuff....like this...once in a while.
This is my gaming laptop I bought last year. I was not educated enough to build one so I paid ALIENWARE to do it for me. And yes it did cost a considerable amount but I LOVE it.
ALIENWARE M18XR2
-Intel i7 3740@2.70GHz (boost 3.4GHz)
-Dual AMD Radeon HD 7970 video cards 6GB memory
-Hard drives
-512GB mSATA SSD Boot
-1TB 5400 rpm
-18.4" WLED FHD (1920 x 1080 TrueLife Display

To be right honest with you I don't really know a lot about what all that means but it performs well and I love it.
