Graphic Cad Laptop

I'm looking for a new graphics (adobe) cad (autodesk) laptop. Who makes a cheap yet better laptop alienware m7700 or dell XPS 1710?
 
Neither of those are really designed for the business world. I don't think Alienware has a business line, but Dell's Latitude series is nice. I have a D520, you'd probably want the D620 though, it has more options such as a Quadro video card and larger, higher resolution screen. I love not having to delete all the crappy software that comes on entertainment/home laptops.
 
Acer TravelMate 8204 WLMi. 2gb of memory, 120 GB HD, Ati x1600 with 256 dedicated memory + 256 shared = 512, core duo at 2GHz, bluetooth, DL DVD Burner, b/g wireless, built in 1.3 mp web cam/camera, smart card, VOIP phone.......all of this came with it. I think right now the price is around 2k.
 
I'd take a look at dell do you care about monitor size? I wouldn't recommend getting those laptops as they are for gaming. what about the apple macbook pro?
 
IBM $$$ but pretty solid from my experience. Totally professional looking. Just get a dell to do your dirty work, unless you can afford the IBM.

Yeah, the one thing to keep in mind, is you need a FireGL Mobility or Quaddro FX 1500M/2500M to get any performance increases in things like CAD, a Geforce or Radeon mobility dont provide any gains really.
