I have about 2 - 3 weeks before I can afford to pull the trigger on a mobile workstation and so far I have narrowed it down to an HP 8570W with a FirePro M4000, a Dell M4700 with a FirePro M4000 or possibly a Sager NP9150 with a GTX 670MX that I can upgrade to a FirePro or Quadro in a year and a half but that depends on what GPU's Sager can verify are compatible.
My main question is this, has anyone seen a 15.6" mobile workstation with a FirePro M6000 or Quadro K4000M? I know the M4000 and K3000M can be had in this size range by a ton of vendors but I haven't seen a 15.6" laptop with the option for an M6000 or K4000M yet.
I'm not really keen on the bulkiness of the NP9150 and a Dell M6700 is just too big to be portable enough for school.

I vote for the sager, it will run quadros, but idk about firepros

I am starting to lean towards one from Xotic as I can get a 3-year accidental damage warranty thru them and it comes out to be about $50 - $100 cheaper than Sager Direct but the thing is still a little bulkier than I'd like but if I cannot find anything else a little tighter packed then I may go for one but the compact size of the M4700 and 8570W have me doubting that decision.

Last thing I heard was that Clevo was looking for units (K4000M) to test in their systems to verify that its supported properly. I have no idea if they have gone any further with the testing or if they are finished.
But you can always buy a workstation from Clevo/Dell/HP and upgrade to K4000M yourself. I sold my K4000M to a bloke a month ago who was upgrading his Dell M6600. -
So basically if I get the NP9150 ( Clevo E150 ) there is a good chance the K4000M might be supported? Ideally, though a good deal more expensive I would like to get a K4000M due to the performance but I would settle for a FirePro M6000.
Anyone seen a 15" laptop with a FirePro M6000 or Quadro K4000M ?
