I do 3D CAD work which occasionally includes rendering and simulation.  I am looking for a new mobile workstation and would like to scale down from a 17" HP Zbook to a 15" model.  While researching 15" models that have either a Nvidia Quatro P3000 or P4000 graphics card, it appears that the offerings from MSI, Boxx and Origin use the same chassis, with minor differences in specs, but wildly differ.

The MSI WS63 w/P3000, Origin NT-15 Quadro w/P3000, and GoBoxx 15 SLM  w/P3000 all appear to be equivalent, with over an $800 difference in price.  While the MSI WS63 w/P4000, Origin NT-15 Quadro w/PP000, and GoBoxx 15 SLM  w/PP000 have over a $1000 difference in price. Granted the Boxx machines have a  i7-7920HQ vs i7-7700HQ in the others, this is only about a 10% faster processor.

 

Is it just that Boxx and Origin names come with a price adder, or do they really have anything over the MSI units?
