The laptop is going to be primarily used for programming. As such, I need it to have a dedicated GPU that supports OpenGL 3.3+. 3.0+ will be stretching it, but also a viable option. I understand that I am asking for quite a bit, but this is primarily going to be for programming, so having a nice keyboard would also be appreciated.
