Hi Joel,
really appreciate your post. I have a desktop for heavy rendering, i just need the laptop to work outside the office. i've check also the gaming range from MSI and Gigabyte and other brands but i've finally decided to go with the Lenovo with quadro M1000m. I had a W500 from 2009 now. They are solid workstation machines and i trust them. Maybe its marketing thing to call a laptop gaming or workstation since the only difference in most of them is just the card, Quadro or GTX. So i will stick to the Lenovo finally. Thanks again
