    This may seem like a dumb question....
    I know a good graphics card makes a laptop a good gaming laptop, but what exactly makes a laptop a good business laptop?

    Portability, reliability, build quality, battery, processing power and looks perhaps? Would depend on the business I suppose.

    Now I'm wondering what are some high performance business laptops with good graphics card? I'm looking for one with the best of both worlds. Would the T61 or the T60p be good choices?

    The HP 8510p with the HD 2600 is something like the best of both worlds and it's very close to the ThinkPad as far as build quality and keyboard go.

    The Asus V1Js is another one of this type notebooks.
