Hello, everybody!

I'm looking to buy a laptop for work with enough oompf for some professional-grade, graphics-intensive tasks that also has a physical Numpad (I do most of my finances on the go).
The top contender is the upcoming XPS 17, but that one doesn't have a Numpad. What's the closest experience and aesthetic to it with a Numpad?
Bonus points for Quadro laptops!

XPS are setup to be higher end fancier systems sleek more than for work use. Think of them as the Macbook of the PC world, price goes to bling as much as to function.

For a higher end system with a Quadro you should look at the workstation class systems like the Lenovo P models. Don't look for thin and fast laptops, you won't like the heat issues or fan noise that comes with those.
