Used workstation

[Dackzy]

So I have talked to a lot of emechanical engineering students, they all said that more power you have the better.

 

So are there any haswell laptop workstations with a hex core xeon CPU?

I'm not sure what you're after. 

 

A workstation is just a PC, so are you asking if there is a hex core haswell Xeon CPU? Then yes, there are many.

Budget? Other requirements?

Well I am looking used, so I just want some models and then I can see if I can get them used here in Denmark.

It just needs to be cooled well and have support for 32gb of ram

Workstation is a generic term for any pc or computer used for "work", literally any computer can be a workstation, that's what confused me. 

However it seems like you're after a particular brand, so I guess just check their website.

I have seen laptops with 12 cores, so there must be a 6 core.

It's that huge Clevo one that is literally a brick. Clevo P570WM. Throw in a 12core + 980m sli and lets go.

that was a laptop from a clevo with a lga 2011 socket. You can't get this from dell/hp/lenovo, and it is very heavy, thick and horrible battley life, while missing out on features like docking stations, touchstick, tpm's. I have yet to see a laptop with 2011v3

is the GPU MXM? Cause the CPU is a socket. You can get a sick 4940MX down the line.
