One thing about laptops is how many are offered with tiny hard drives, and a small amount of memory. I'd hold out for one with a minimum of 512MB of RAM, and a wide screen monitor. (I have a 19" monitor for my desktop, and my Poser 5 work screen is cramped due to the large paramater dials section). You can always get around a small laptop hard drive by adding a USB external drive. But then your computer would not be so portable.
