I've been really happy with the performance of my laptop (a 2016-era Asus ROG Strix GL502vs) for MD work. It's a gaming model (GTX 1070 rather than Quadro, and an i7 CPU), but it's solid and seriously powerful. I dual-boot Fedora and Windows (I initially tried with Ubuntu, but its setup crashed in the middle of rearranging the hard drive partitions leaving me too scared to try again). It works nicely enough, other than the occasional issue with kernel updates breaking the Nvidia driver and/or GRUB.
