Hi, what is the most powerful laptop regardless of how pretty it is and battery life etc

[dan3141592653]

Hi everybody, I am looking for a laptop with a i7 and the best GPU possible which is able to run OSX and windows at the same time with one as a virtual machine. I have tried looking around and all I find seem to be compromises between performance and efficiency. I dont give a monkeys about efficiency. Please help me find a laptop

Packs a desktop CPU also.

Don't know if this is the best but you can get it with gtx 980m and i7 4790k

Thank you both, these are exactly the type of laptop i am after. What would be the practical difference between a i7 4790k and a 4790T?

Is there likely to be a MBP with a proper Nvidia GPU and i7 coming?

Maybe at 720 I got a desktop for 1080. I would like to run dolphin GC games maybe Wii at native resolutions

Thanks, it looks on point. How could I check if all the OSX wifi/GPU drivers etc would work

from all the options so far the origin pc and xmg are the most powerful ones since they are running desktop cpus thus giving them big edge on cpu performance. the 4790k is extremely powerful even for a desktop cpu and by far the best option out of all since most of the other cpus (like 4790T) are butchered power saving cpus that are made for long battery life and less heat.

The i7 4790T is a heavily underclocked 4790 and also has a very low TDP. Where as the 4790K is unlocked and has the full TDP of a normal desktop CPU.

I'm not sure about mac drivers, but windows drivers will certainly work.
