What is the best mobile CAD system?

I was wondering which Precision M65 or M70 to run Solidworks and Cosmosworks? I am interested in opimizing performance - not conerned about price.

The Dell M90 I believe is the current flagship and would be your best performer. You might also look at this little number I picked up from Electra Computer a few weeks ago:

It's a smokin' fast powerbook but I use it for gaming as well as CAD. For strictly CAD the Dell Quadro 2500M grafx in the M90 looks pretty sweet!

It's wild you just posted this to me - we just got this one in Thursday and I brought it home to play - I mean work on, this weekend:

It's got 512MB GDDR3 VRAM as well and NX models shade/rotate noticably better. I passed my other to the new guy. If I had to criticize something it'd be the somewhat 'vanilla' styling but the performance is definately there.

Ah, Seniority... :)
