Help! - Need a Solid KeyShot + SolidWorks Laptop Solution

[br3ttman]

Hey KeyShooters,

Any recommendations for a laptop solution to run both KeyShot and SolidWorks?  I'm looking for a solution for a co-worker in the $1800 to $2800 range, KeyShot 40 to 50 fps and reliable SolidWorks, Adobe Creative Suite, and MS Office products.

Personally, I'm running a MacBook Pro Retina, $2800, 53 fps, running Adobe suite, KeyShot, and Office on the Mac side and ProE and SolidWorks with Windows 7 in Parallels. However, SolidWorks is doggy in Parallels and my office IT doesn't want to support macs.  So if he selects a Mac, I'll end up becoming most of his support

Maybe a GoBOXX? Those things are pricey, but powerful.
