Running Creo on a laptop, recommendations?

Running Creo on a laptop, recommendations?

Running Creo on a laptop, recommendations?

(OP)
I searched for laptops in this forum, and there aren't many (any) newer threads on recommendations. I would like to set up a mobile workstation for running Creo 2.0. Not planning on doing really intense computations, but this laptop's main purpose is to run CAD, so I'm not going to go for a $500 bare bones model. I definitely want something with a proper video card. I've always been partial to Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T series, but unfortunately the only Thinkpad with a CAD type graphics card is the gigantic W500 series. I don't want something physically that large in a "mobile" computer.

Anyone have recommendations for laptops that they are using for CAD work? TIA!

hp elitebooks are nice and popular
here are some thinkpads: http://geizhals.at/?cat=nb&xf=883_Quadro%7E883...
just pick the one you like (language is different, but processor, screen size... arent), copy its model number in google and find it in usa.

elitebook with quadro http://geizhals.at/?cat=nb&xf=883_Quadro+K%7E5...

if you click on the left where it says notebooks you reset the selector. then you can set up your preferences again. i am not aware of any similar us system (this is only to see what the different stores have on offer not a web shop)

Dell has a line of Precision laptops that are Pro/E certified.
