I find my laptop two (year old Toshiba Sattellite, Celeron 1.1 GHz, 250 meg Ram with integrated Graphics) to be quite slow, even for general use. Startup takes very long compared to my desktop. My impression is that this is mostly due to the lack of Ram/onboard graphics, so I would recommend one with half a gig of memory and/or dedicated graphics.

Also be aware that many laptops come without a VGA port. If you need it to do presentations/hook it up to an external monitor/beamer, make sure you get one with a VGA port.
