Which notebooks or laptops come with Nvidia Quadro video cards?

I would like to buy a notebook for 3D modelling and animation. Video editing and compositing as well. Sager Notebooks was recommended to me, but they have Nvidia GeForce, not Quadro.|||The Dell Latitudes (business laptops) come with Quadro cards. I currently use a D820 in which I have a 512mb Quadro NVS 120 (256dedicated, 256 turbocache).



EDIT: It seems they've re-vamped their business notebook lineup. The D630 and D830s both feature quadro cards as upgrades. The Precision also offers it as an option.



Quadros are not the same as Geforce. They run on similar chipsets, but are very different. For instance, if you take a mobile Geforce card and compare it to a Quadro card based off the same chipset, the geforce will be better at games and such, while the quadro is better at 3d modeling.|||Sager doesn't sell Quadro laptops anymore because GeForce chips are nearly identical (except in drivers), much chepaer, and perform the same in almost all applications. That's something you should really look into. But if you must get a Quadro:
