Yeah, I happen to need a laptop for that niche between gaming laptop and high end workstation. Where's a Thinkpad that can run Maya comfortably for a student?

Yeah, I happen to need a laptop for that niche between gaming laptop and high end workstation. Where's a Thinkpad that can run Maya comfortably for a student? AFAIK they only have models with Quadros that have anything but student prices. So I'm stuck with "gaming" models. Besides my daughter likes the bling :) If only they could sell me something that doesn't die in a week...
