On my NW8440 mobile workstation i burn my left pinky when playing games... :(
But the problem with laptops is that you can't upgrade them like a normal workstation so if your company is going to make bigger cad drawings, or your cad program is going to need more you have to trash the laptop and buy a new one.
But i think it will run pro/e :P
