Best laptop for 3D?

I've had my current laptop for about 4 years now and it's getting pretty slow, also i feel like i need a fresh pc because I have just gotten accepted to a school called game-art, I guess the name of the course tells you guys what I'll be doing. I do alot of modelling, texturing in photoshop and sculpting in mudbox as my personal projects. I enjoy creating photorealistic scenes and thats usually what my projects are all about. This can ofcourse make my laptop quite slow when working with high-res images and lots of polygons. So now, what would be the greatest suggestions for a laptop you could give me? I have very litle knowledge about computers in general, so if you are going to use laptop-parts-cpu-graphic-card etc advices and so,
please explain so I can understand what you are talking about user added image

thanks

Hi David, thanks alot for your suggestions! Im trying to do some research about gpu/cpu/processor & graphic cards while looking at all the options. For my budget on this i feel that it's worth to spend up to around 2700 USD

Also I have a quite big screen on my current laptop, and im very comfortable with that, for obvious reasons, so a big screen is a huge + for me user added image
