First post so be gentle ;)

Just got the great news that I'm going to China for an intermship, I'm currently Studying for Industrial Product Engineer in Rotterdam. And I really need a mobile workstation for me to work on in China.

Programs I use a lot:

3D-CAD:
UGS NX4 (should become NX5)
NX Nastran 4.1
Solidworks 2007
Mold Adviser 7.1
Part Adviser 7.1

Adobe:
Acrobat reader
Photoshop CS3

Office:
Word 2007
Excell 2007
Powerpoint 2007
Outlook 2007

The heavy ones are NX4 (formaly unigraphics) and NX Nastran 4.1.

I need a laptop workstation because all there software is in Chinese and I of course can learn chinese in 3 months.

I am awaiting your toughts.

Kind regards,

I'd be talking with my local HP, NEC and Fujitsu distributers. (not dealers...) One might include IBM / lenovo in that mix. Get some professional advice.

Ask nicely, they'll help is my experience.

As I am a Industrial Product Engineer (Designer) in the making I can't really picture myself with the Dell Laptop... Appart from it's ability to house a powerfull quadro card it just doesn't look... well... inspiring.

Thanks anyway but Dell just isn't my thing really...
