    Go for the Sony as it is the only one with a discrete graphics chip.
    While the Intel extreme is good, given the choice it's found lacking for high end graphics programs.

    Frankly I think a 15" screen is too small for CAD work. Other than that I agree with Ben that you want graphics power and the Sony offers that.
