17" replacement laptop OR detachable pc for graphic design and database management

[txForestTrail]

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a 17" laptop, convertible OR detachable pc, with the guts and clarity to handle large graphics files and seamlessly run multiple softwares like illustrator, photoshop & indesign simultaneously. Touchscreen would be awesome. VGA & Hdmi ports are a must. My budget is $2,000 - $2,500. Any assistance is appreciated.

how do you mean detachable pc? its quite difficult carrying a screen as well, would any screen resolution do?
