I was looking at the Dell Precision m6700 but I'm not sure I want to pull the pin on that badboy right now so I was curious if any of you guys have a good workstation replacement you use to run test VMs (think: RAC upgrade testing (CRS, ASM etc) - basic database upgrades to flush out issues). I had a desktop at one point that I had setup a DNS server on and a vlan for the VMs which worked pretty well at the time but I'd like to have something portable. Definitely needs 16GB ram if not 32gb I think.

Anyone have any favorites or recommendations (or tips on how to write off a m6700 on my taxes! LOL )

Have a happy New Year!
