Just looked them up. They're in the £2-3k range typically for that spec.

Even for i7 with Quadro, the cheapest I could see was a Lenovo at £1.5k. Still over double the OP's budget.

I think OP needs to consider whether he would benefit from a dedicated workstation laptop with Quadro or not.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

My current laptop is a Sony vaio centrino duo 2  its a bit tired now and old and although its ok i just fancy an ultrabook having said that my current laptop handles cad perfectly well  with only 3gb ram so am pretty sure even a i5  would be more than capable.

Stealth it has to be a laptop ad I usually contract so need a laptop on the go to work from.

In regards to having a disc drive I probably wont need one as ave never used the drive in over 2 years so a portable usb would be fine if need be.

I really like the look of these laptop especially the first one

Ave got me heart set on ultrabook now I think either i5 or i7 with atleast 256ssd and ideally a hd screen.

I quite like the vaio and Dell xps range but there's a nice Samsung obesity ave seen all these are readily available for around 650-750 mark just unsure what time go for  appreciate everyone's input really helpful and welcoming cheers

Let me know what you think of the three

If you can hold on a bit there should be alot of Ultrabooks dropping in price shortly.

You need to have a certain spec to get a special Microsoft Certification, many existing units don't quite meet it and are still perfectly good units.

+1 for the Dell XPS

I picked up a XPS14Z i7 8GB RAM, with SSD for just under £1000 last year. Its roughly the same size as a mac book and with SSD silly quick. This gets transported about everywhere with me!!

Is this an ultrabook

If you are looking at Dell then try the Dell Outlet. Good savings to be had.  :happy2:
