Not a paticular one in mind besides boss tone studio for amp config (i just started playing guitar). Laptop should be fast but i dont think i need a pricey performance machine for 2k hehe :)

Casual but not slow as well would be cool lol

I would normally recommend something like a newer Macbook/Air for music and/or video production, but with gaming in mind (even though it's doable), I'm hard pressed to recommend it.

Something like a Gigabyte AORUS 15 will do you fine, I can't guarantee any laptop you buy now will last 10 years though.

TBH even a modern Chromebook with Windows installed can get you by in a pinch for $499.

I wouldnt advice a mac to anyone.
You're limited in so much and lets be honest music production, video and picture edit is better on win due to cubase, fl studios, studio one, photoshop etc. No need for an over priced gear. (I've been doing music the past 15+ years) using both mac and win, and windows wins 10 out of 10 times

For the budget you could look into one of the following.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (deals etc)
Dell Inspiron 15 7000
Acer Predator Helios 300 (deals)
HP Omen 15
Lenovo Legion 5

Also, i would recommend you to wait for black friday (Nov 24) to get your money worth fully
