    Any one know of a sub 14" (prefer 12" but would go to 13") laptop that
    uses a high end Quadro FX Mobile graphics card?

    Prefer either a:

    * NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500M
    * NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M
    * NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M
    * NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M

    But would go to a:


    * NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M

    as a last resort.

    Thanks,

    Kev

    I think the smallest mobile workstation you'll find is the Lenovo
    Thinkpad T61p with a 14.1" monitor and FX570 graphics. You can put
    together a nice configuration for about $2k.

    Otherwise, just about any notebook will run SolidWorks using software
    OpenGL, though you will sacrifice performance and won't have support
    for RealView graphics.

    Thanks Jim,

    I spotted that one - Ideally I didn't want to go above 13ish" and I'm
    not sure that one will support real view in SWX2008

    Is it an issue I don't know - but I heard somewhere that photoworks
    and realview were connected in 2008 and I just wanted to be sure.

    AFIK the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M is the lowest spec that will work -
    anyone shed any light on this.

    The size limit I set myself was nothing bigger than the A4 notebook
    (300mm x 230mm x 25mm)I carry around with me.

    You might want to investigate the What's New.pdf for 2008 to find out how
    important RealView will be to you. If necessary, sign up for Beta/pre-
    release.
