15.6 laptops with newest Intel graphics?

[uigrrl]

I am a user interface designer, wanting to purchase a new laptop. I use FireWorks pretty much all the time. Since applications must be able to utilize the Nvidia cards, and FW cannot, I am thinking of purchasing a laptop with only the built in Intel graphics chip.

It appears the best so far are those with 4750, 4850 or 4950 Intel graphics cards ... if that is true, does anyone know what 15.6 laptops have these? (of course I assume they would also be Haswell, 4th gen, at least 2.4 ghz chips). I've tried to find them so far haven't..

Thanks for your help!

Retina MacBook Pro with Iris Pro?

Yeah, the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro may be your best bet. Expensive, but it's one of the few (if not only) systems with Iris Pro. Most Windows PC makers skimp and use someting like HD 4600 instead.

Why do you think Fireworks can't use the Nvidia card?

For that matter, why do you think Fireworks will get any benefit from anything faster than the standard HD 4600 graphics? It looks like it doesn't use anything more than standard OpenGL supported by essentially every graphics chip on the market.

I think any laptop on the market would work just fine for Fireworks, and I doubt there'd be any noticeable difference between the HD4600 and the better Intel IGPs.
