Except CPU/GPU intensive work. Laptops are notoriously horrible to run multiple programs, intensively, at once without heating up and melting off your balls... lmao

It depends, If you're (generally speaking) willing to pay the money, you'll get a very decent lappy that'll fulfill your computational needs without any hassles.

The Dell Alienware (over-priced IMO) running SLI GTX 880 Cards, along with the OC'd 4th Gen Quad CPU @ 4.4Ghz will chew just about anything you throw at It. Given It's performance, It runs relatively cool too.
