I don't know much about workstation laptops but I've heard good things from Alienware. Here's a link to their top laptop. https://www.alienware.com/Configurato...de=SKU-DEFAULT As you will see you can customise it to your liking, So upgrading to 1GB of ram a Quadro FX and the larger screen size of 1680 x 1050 may be just in your budget. hope this helps.
