Any nice 1080 15.6" convertible flip/fold over with a quad core (HQ series)?

Need processing power for graphic design, but want to be able to have a touchscreen in "tent" and "tablet" mode. Would prefer to have an optical drive, and full number pad.

One other thing I realized that I need is some wireless display option. Looks like MS just came out with a miracast HDMI adapter that can be added to any display...so now I need to find a laptop capable of broadcasting.

So are there any options out there?

Bump, still not having any luck myself...I'm assuming there are simply no convertible options with the 45 watt quad core options.

In that case, any regular laptops that standout in the $1k range? I'd be looking for better build quality, especially strong hinges. XPS 15 is out, to many problems and it lacks both an optical drive and the number pad.

Vaio Canvas Z. 95% Adobe RGB. Quad Core. 12.3". $2k+.

If you're serious about actually using the computer for graphic design, not much is better.

Maybe look at the DELL INSPIRON I7559-2512BLK on Amazon?

I like my Lenovo Edge 2, but I'm not sure you can get it with a quad core. Even the i7 models are dual core I think.

Edit - doesn't have an optical drive, either, though it does have a number pad.
