One important item you should remember if you buy a laptop; most have onboard Video chipsets that share the system ram.
Shared ram does not support OpenGL Hardware Acceleration, so you would have to use the slower Software Acceleration. Which would defeat the purpose of a new system since the Software Acceleration only supports OpenGL 1.1, and 2.1 is current, much faster. Maybe a small desktop with a big video card would be better in the short-term?.
