Looking for new Laptop (14" -15") and I'm stuck on whether which GPU would be better for my work when I'm at Uni doing work and being at lectures; I'm currently using Softwares such as:

- Maya
- Photoshop
- After Effects
- Premiere

maybe even Nuke, zBrush and Blender in the future
in
and also some mild gaming (e.g. LoL, Mortal Kombat, CSGO

 
Go for the GTX970M - it will be far more powerful. In theory for the likes of Maya you should go for the Quadro, but in reality it wont gain you much.

Really what you want is an all-round powerful system ie don't skimp on RAM, SSDs etc, go for an i7 over an i5 if you can afford it.

ANd do read up on the reviews of the system you're going for - I've known laptops be under-cooled for the power they contain etc
 


So what laptops would you suggest?

I've been looking at Razer and Alienware:

Razer Blade: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade

Alienware 15: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/alienware-15/pd.aspx

I would've gone a custom route but they are all fat and ugly; I'm looking for something that is Powerful and Ultra Portable like the two laptops above.

Any suggestions on other laptops that I may have missed?
