What Laptop do you recommend for high end graphics software

[JohnnyBoyxxx]

I'm a graphic designer and use programmes like 3DS MAX, CORELDRAW X6, MOTION STUDIO, SKETCHBOOK PRO with a Wacom Pad, etc on a daily basis.
At the moment i use an All-in-One, Hp Touchsmart 610 with n i5 intel cpu and 16gb ram. I love it, does everything i ask of it, with ease.

I want to get myself a laptop that will match or come close to the capabilities of my AIO.

I have been looking at a HP 8770w Notebook, 8gb Ram and i7 intel cpu. They retail for around £2,400 which is a little out of my price bracket.

I was hoping to get something for £1,500 -£1,600 at a stretch, with similar specs and performance.

Any help will be appreciated

You have options, you could drop down to the 770m and go for a better i7, but I definitely recommend the Vortex, it is an excellent machine.
