Well, I've had a G55VW for a year now and it works quite well for CAD and certainly helps with compiling LabView code as well.

The only difference between the G45VW and the G55VW (as far as specs go) is the G55VW has a slower-clocked quad core processor in it, and hyper-threading.
Oh, and that G45VW has a larger HDD in it than my laptop.

Also, the cooling on this thing seems ridiculous until you are running Inventor in you lap and realize you aren't being burnt by it like most laptops.
The only complaint I have with it is that it IS a bit heavy. (which wasn't a problem until our bus broke down in OKC last year)
