What are you trying to do with it, as a "Gaming" graphics card may not be the best for some applications.

Rate all those and gaming from most to least important.

I'll do a quick search. Are you okay with used/refurb or does it have to be new?

Here is the best Quadro-based laptop for around 1200 USD (You can still use discount codes).

 

If you want something with regular gaming specs, I'm sure there are plenty of places to look for that.

The engineering companies I have worked for have always had pretty tight control on IT resources. They get pretty serious when it comes to trade secrets.
