Replying to Recommendations for new laptop!

definitely an ASUS ROG. I personally have one and we have two at the office. It runs SoftPlan perfectly.

Mine has i-7 6700HQ processor with 12Gigs of ram. The Nvidia dedicated graphics card is what powers this beast and works great for 3D work.

If the machine does not come with an SSD hard drive, I highly recommend that you upgrade it upon purchase and this thing will fly.

The laptop will have two hard drive bays easily accessible from the bottom by the removal of one small screw. You can add your original hard drive as a secondary data drive, or you can put your machine into a simple RAID system.

​Asus ROG for me too.  Purchased about 5 months ago.  Loving it.   Running two 27" monitors plus the laptop display.  Easy to add a solid state drive also.

Mine is 3 years old going strong.

Same here - Asus ROG machines

However, MSI has a new line of high performance gaming machines that Best Buy sells.

They also have sold the Asus product.

12 month no interest financing if purchased from Best Buy.

You won't look back....I've tried Dell as well and didn't like the performance.

Good Luck!!!

this info isn't from me.  I copied it from a previous thread,

many use th ASUS ROG and love it.

here's what was in the thread:
Stick with the Nvidia graphics cards I have an AMD in my Dell and it's never performed as good as the Nvidia cards do.  My buddy just bought an ASUS ROG with a solid state hard drive for the OS and he's really happy with it.  There is a couple more posts on this, search the forum and you'll find some good info.  Here's a great post:
