Josh, I bought a DELL XPS 8700 tower. Upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. INTEL CPU i7-490 (3.6GHz). 16-Gigs of RAM. 2TB HD. And a 2TB external backup. Netgear Nighhawk router.Very fast. Been reliable (knock on my wooden head). No problems using pre Win 7 software on Win 10, if that is a question. All printers and other peripherals have been fine on Win 10, too.

If you were to get the "laptop equivalent" of what you describe, or whatever is closest, what might it be?
Also, as an aside, I am using an Apple Extreme as my router now. Any idea of how the Netgear Nighthawk compares? Down here in our FL condo, the wifi transmission is bad and I was thinking of getting a Netgrear Nighthawk Wifi Extender, but the reviews seem mixed (i.e., many complain of having to reboot it every few days when it konks out). I wonder, though, if a single better router would obviate the need for and extender entirely? Condo is about 2400 square feet, but the wifi distribution is very uneven with the single Extreme and no extender.

Son's games on the PlayStation seem to load faster with the Nighthawk. Versus the D-Link, I had before.
Dell makes some nice laptops. They have an XPS-15 that seems nice.
