I searched for laptops in this forum, and there aren't many (any) newer threads on recommendations. I would like to set up a mobile workstation for running Creo 2.0. Not planning on doing really intense computations, but this laptop's main purpose is to run CAD, so I'm not going to go for a $500 bare bones model. I definitely want something with a proper video card. I've always been partial to Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T series, but unfortunately the only Thinkpad with a CAD type graphics card is the gigantic W500 series. I don't want something physically that large in a "mobile" computer.

Anyone have recommendations for laptops that they are using for CAD work? TIA!

here are some thinkpads: just pick the one you like (language is different, but processor, screen size... arent), copy its model number in google and find it in usa.

if you click on the left where it says notebooks you reset the selector. then you can set up your preferences again. i am not aware of any similar us system (this is only to see what the different stores have on offer not a web shop)
 
Dell has a line of Precision laptops that are Pro/E certified.
