We have a request from an artist to purchase a Thinkpad with the best graphics card in terms of

(1) Fastest Graphics Rendering support, e.g. 3D Max Studio
(2) Largest available Video Ram, e.g. Autodesk Autocad

which model would have this capability in the Txx,Rxx,Xxx,Wxx series ?

size of Thinkpad LCD is not that important, just the graphics performance.

I think the W510 (~15") would nicely fill the specs:

Up to Intel® Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition (2.0GHz)
Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
Other editions of Windows 7 are available.
15.6" multitouch widescreen panel
Up to NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 880M with 1GB DDR3 discrete graphics
Up to 16GB memory

This machine already has the new USB3.0

Go to http://www.thinkpads.com or ecoupons.com (see ad at top left of this page) for the best prices.

You asked what was available, not what had ...
And as the W7xx series is 'slightly' oversized, I don't consider that a laptop any more...
