Thanks to all for suggestions on laptops. What do you think about Asus
G72GX-RBBX05 (Best Buy SKU 9556125) $999.99 or Alienware M17X-2308MBK (SKU
9693464) $2,299.99 for dedicated CAD? (Rhino &/or Alibre)  I don't have
$10,000 for a cad program. Is the Asus up to the CAD job?-thanks

The Asus will probably run Rhino fine. My 5 year old
HP does.

I've been considering that ASUS laptop myself for a while (assuming I
ever become employed again).  Make sure you try one out at the local
BestBuy.  You will find that it is virtually impossible to type on if
the built in touchpad is enabled.  For some stupid reason, ASUS made
the touchpad huge & flush with the palm rests.  The result is that you
cannot type without your palms touching the pad, which triggers the
mouse, which causes lots of mischief.

In any case - it's the best gaming laptop out there for the price I
can find.  If you get it I will be very interested to hear a review
after a week or so.
