Thanks for the heads up. I've had my eye on a semi hollow body for a while. I got the one that Tom has a pic of above. It plays well and is surprisingly good for the price. This is the first guitar I've bought over the net. The intonation is a bit off, but I'll wait a week for it to adjust to the humidity or lack thereof before I intonate it. This has the wrong jack plate on it - it doesn't sit flush, but not a big deal in this price range.

I've had hp in the past, it's fine and still running, but they limit what you can access in the bios. I currently have an MSI gaming laptop, and it allows a lot of tweaking in the bios. I suspect most name brands should be fine, but I always check reviews and ratings ...

I bought an MSI gaming laptop three years ago and haven't had any problems with it. I use it as a secondary DAW, I have a tower as my main DAW. The laptop is also used for general computing and surfing the web. It has an intel processor and nvidia graphics. It's part of their Crosshair series. My DAW is from Jim, I recommend his products as well.
