Would a gaming laptop (Dell Alienware 17R5) be a good choice for a Rhino/Grasshopper user?

I’m buying a new laptop which I intend to use for the following:

  • Complex Grasshopper/Rhino models
  • Simulations with Grasshopper plugins such as Galapagos, Kangaroo, Karamba, Millipede, etc.
  • Architectural renderings (stills and video) made with Lumion software

Do you think that a Dell Alienware 17 R5 laptop would be fine for the aforementioned purposes? Or would it have a large amount of expensive features that I don’t need for Rhino/Grasshopper/Lumion, and which would be better suited for hardcore gamers (e.g.: eye-tracking, dynamic overclocking, VR compatibility, etc.)? If so, would it be better for me to consider buying another kind of laptop?

Thanks for your attention!
