Best Laptop for: 3d modelling, rendering, simulations and gaming ofcou

[viktre]

I intend to buy a laptop for myself which would fulfil my needs.

-The needs:

1. 3D Modelling: Pro/E, CATIA, SolidEdge, AutoCAD etc.

2. Assembly: Pro/E, CATIA, SolidEdge etc.

3. Simulation: Kinematic: Mechanisms on Pro/E, SolidEdge, etc.

Solid/ Fluid: Pro/E, SolidEdge, I.D.E.A.S, ANSYS, Fluent, etc.

Program: Matlab, C, etc.

4. Rendering: Corel Painter, Sketchbook Pro, PhotoShop, Alias, etc.

5. Gaming: FIFA, NBA, COD, Crysis, NFS etc.

-Country:

India ( no customer support for Sager sadly)

-Budget:

Not exceeding $ 1500.

-Screen:

15.6 inches. Full HD. ( output to 27" screen).

-Future Proof:

Yes, atleast for 4 years.

-Graphics:

Gaming cards vs. 3D cards. No idea. Can't decide.

-HDD

What should I choose- solid state or the conventional?
Space wise min 500GB, wouldn't mind more than that.

for eg. can Quadro play games at max or ultra settings and can a geforce render models. What kind of trade off am I lookiing at. I don't want to sacrifice my gaming experience (visuals) aswell as my modeling and simulation experience (which is my job so it is much more important to me). I guess I can compromise on the gaming (but I'd like it to be as less as possble or none).

-Audio:

Should be nice. Good output ( for external speakers).

-Brand:

Best value for money & most reliable.


So I guess i need the best CPU, GPU, max RAM, that i can get in under $1500. So help me out here!

Thanks

ok, so are there any known issues with the thinkpad w530?

The only thing I can find is the cpu downclocks when on battery. No solution.

Just came upon this now. I'm in the market for something similar. Did you ever pick a system?

Thanks.
