Just did my laptop refresh and bought a Dell Precision M4600. I am extremely happy with it.

16 GB (can go up to 32GB)
OCZ Max IOPS SSD 256GB (550MB/sec sustained disk IO)
Quad Core i7

Fast as hell. Also, ring your Dell account rep and get them to put in an AMD GPU instead of the nVidia which is the default discrete GPU part option.
