hello there do you plan on playing games on this laptop or just using for modeling and rendering and such? because i would recommend a mobile workstation over a gaming laptop as the mobile workstation has graphics cards made specifically to work with modeling software,rendering,autocad etc etc where as a gaming laptop will more than likely use the integrated graphics for most of your day to day operations then when you play a game it will switch to the dedicated GPU now the software and hardware you are going to use may let use the dedicated GPU for rendering purposes but im not sure hope this helps feel free to ask any more questions
