I'm looking for a laptop for use mostly with 3D CAD design & rendering. At this point considering a top end Haswell-based gaming model (e.g. MSI GT70 Dragon Edition 2), but would like to know about any other makes / models that should be considered also. Cost is not a big factor, as long as value is there. Many thanks in advance for advice.
 
i am also going through same situation.... tought of buying MSI wth nvidea gtx780....but i read somewhere saying tht gaming laptop is ok for gaming...CAD based designs need graphics like Nivedia quadro instead of geforce...hope someone helps
