I use a Sager gaming laptop. At the time, it was fully tricked out with an i7, 16 GB, 1.5 GB mobile NVidia. I hate the keyboard, but it was only $1800. I've had a few years now. Aside from being a hulk with poor battery life and a crummy keyboard, it is a great portable desktop. I'm using it now. I put my split-keyboard over the laptop keyboard easily. It also helps with ergonomics. Since the trackpad is covered, I use my external mouse that I've used at clients for years. One the whole, it's a powerful workhorse (I bought it when I was using Scala and SBT). It is also $600 dollars cheaper than my similarly spec'ed new MBP. I would buy again when I need to upgrade this box.
