I've been running Poser on laptops for years (7yrs I think). Currently a HP DV9000 with an AMD Turion X2 TL56, 2 gigs of RAM, Nvidia GeforceGo 7600 - 256 Mb RAM, and 2x100 gig hard drives, WinXP. Poser 5/6 run great, as does Carrara 5Pro, Daz Studio, Vue Infinite (haven't done anything major with it yet), and Hexagon 1. A laptop won't be as fast as an equivalantly priced desktop, but I love being able to "work" just about anywhere :-)

Try to get a machine with discreet video RAM. A graphics card with discreet (not shared) V RAM will really improve interactive performance with any 3D app. 2 Gigs of RAM is also a big plus, and as much disk space as you can afford.
