Need to get a laptop, for occasional mastercam use. 13"-15". I have an older Toshiba 17" now, which is too big. Toshiba, Asus, Panasonic are preferred. Dedicated graphics, obviously. Preferably Nvidia. Any suggestions?

I suggest Toshiba, Asus, or Panasonic with dedicated graphics, preferably Nvidia.
I have a Dell Precision M4500 with a 15" screen that I am running Mastercam X5 on. It has 4GB RAM and an Nvidia Quadro 880. It runs fine.
At work we have an M4600 (same as the 4500 but newer). It has 8GB RAM and an Nvidia graphics card but I don't remember which card it is. We run Mastercam X6 on it.
claya and Hhay those are exactly what they are mad for Cad-Cam I run the M6600 just got this end last year and thinking of picking up a M4600 as the M6600 is a 17.3 and the M4600 is 15.6.
I use them for Mastercam X4,X5,X6 and beta X7 and solidworks 2013 and Space Claim 2012+ . no issues at all. I had upgraded from a M6300 to the M6600 by the way.
you can get a great deal from the Dell fatory outlet.
