There aren't any decent mobile graphics cards for laptops that are good for "heavy 3D" & "heavy motion graphics". OEM does go that high.

We just got a sony laptop the 786 rather than 796...
It's got a massive screen... 16.1 inches and it's black onyx or something so super clear and sharp...
it's better than all our desktop machine...

That's incorrect that no laptops come with a prolevel card, the Dell M60 come with a NVIDIA® Quadro FX Go700? 4XAGP graphics w/128MB DDR, which is far superior to any Geforce or mobile ATI card.
Quadros are pro level cards and to my knowledge, this is the only laptop with it.

It ain't cheap, but it's the best there is.
For reasonable prices, check out the Inspiron 8500 with the 128mb Geforce.

If you really just want a large screen, Toshiba and HP have 17" laptops for around $2k. Yup, 17". On top of that, they come with P4 3.06 chips, good graphics, etc. Really nice package and the screens are supposed to be awesome.
That's cheap!! The draw back is that they each weigh over 10 lbs. Take a look if all you want is a desktop replacement, you can't beat them and I am sure Dell and others are making some as we speak. It will be the next 'growth' sector of the market (see new PC Mag for reviews).

that sony felt really plasticy and timid when i tested it in sydney. I had the cash ready to buy it but once i got my hands on it in the store it felt really hollow and i still have the money now.

I can't believe dell didn't put out a 17 incher yet

what's a good online laptop shop for Europe?
Seems like the top notch laptops ain't available on the official sites around Europe wtf?

okay the 17 inch toshiba, without a battery is 9 pounds....with a battery its 11.5 POUNDS! its 16.7 inches long, over two inches high, and 11.5 deep, pretty massive and heavy for a semi decent laptop. Not portable!
Sony's sexy. plastic, with a whaa memory stick? I have no idea what to do with that...my friend has a 16' sony, he says the support is useless, and he's had it in the shop three times.
I bought a Apple 17 inch Powerbook, 6.8 pounds....totallly portable, tested it up against dell inspiron 8500 with 2.4 gig, blows it away running osx 10.2.6, in photoshop and graphics apps, gaming was compreble on both systems.
but if you need to really check out a PC, I have always been totally blown away by www.alienware.com they design for gamers so you get the best 3d stuff on the market, and always the fastest available processors and video, cool colors too!

The 17" PCs are just like everything else - almost great, but the aim at mass marketing (ie cheap) instead of designers. That's where you get the huge size and weight, but what, like $1500 less than the Apple?
So is the size that big of a problem? I'd like one in the middle, personally. Hopefully Dell will come out with something soon, they always seem to wait and test (that's good) before releasing new products.

Ok - had a good shop around and the Acer803 seems to be a hot ticket...
