1- Laptops are not and will not, in the near future, be as robust as a desktop
2- You should be designing at a desk so you shouldn't need a laptop
3- You'll have to spend two times the money on a decent laptop for an equivalent desktop

But if you insist on wasting your money on a system that will burn up in 2 years b/c you're going to buy a monster laptop that will over heat b/c you rest it in your lap or on your couch choking it from the limited amount of airflow it gets by design, then most people go with a Snoy Vio or a top of the line Toshiba.

Imo, buy a desktop PC or a Mac Pro and get 4-5 good years out of it.
