That is extremely difficult. Lenovo doesn't make any high end laptops without nvidia. You'll be restricted to the X series and the T series. Dell is also quite similar, although at one point they had intel only options for their precision lineup. Basically, all vendors tack on the nvidia card once you get into high end (i.e., real i7 with 4-6 cores, xeon etc.).

Yup. By adding a Nvidia card (or, far less commonly, an ATI/AMD one) they can sell that laptop as a specialty "Gaming" machine - and with margins on commodity hardware being so razor-thin these days, that's exactly what shrewd marketers need!
