If you have money, drop around 3k on a retina macbook pro that has everything maxed out with the nvidia GPU.
You could get the machine posted above, which has better specs but i've had better experience with apple hardware and recommend them because of it.
You can run Windows 10 using bootcamp, which isn't like a virtual machine and gets the most performance out of the laptop or you could run Windows 10 on parallels and take the performance cut.
I typically prefer apple's design of the macbook pro, compared to most, if not all the laptops in todays market. Very lightweight machine that is built to not break down but applecare is essential to get.
You could setup a dedicated machine at home, that is for your databases of hand histories. Setup hem or poker tracker to just retrieve the hand history details from that machine and take the load off your laptop. So basically you play on laptop that gets all the statistics from desktop machine and you could even connect to the desktop machine with the laptop by internet, when you leave your home with the laptop.
The retina screen on the macbook pro, enables the possibility of changing the resolution to 3840x2400 (huge screen real-estate space) but I've only been able to do it with software such as, 'SwitchResX' and that is mac software. I haven't fooled around on Windows enough, to know what the Windows equivalent is but with such a high resolution, you can have around 20 tables in tile mode on a 15 inch display of the macbook pro.
See this post: 2013 model btw

If you hold out by waiting for the newer models to come out, they will probably support connecting to 4k+ monitors by new thunderbolt or whatever they're going to be using for the display connection. Currently the newest models could be connected to a 4k monitor but would require two thunderbolt connections based on the data/speed required by 4k monitors.
