Hello, people, need your kind advice...

I am looking to buy a new laptop. I am a professional, work mostly on AutoCAD 2D 2015, besides occasional Photoshop-ing.

My core requirements (which are non-negotiable) are as follows:
- Should have Quad Core Intel processor, eg. i7-4710MQ
- Should have 1920x1080 LED Screen with minimum 95% RGB Color reproduction
- other specifications I can mod / live without

I have shortlisted Lenovo W-541 Mobile Workstation as preferred choice, but would be glad for a cheaper alternative, if I can find one.

I realize that AutoCAD 2D does not NEED workstation graphics, so I am OK with a consumer graphics card.

Does any other worthy laptop fulfill my specifications above?

Calibre.
