Ideally, you should be looking for a lappy with a 5400rpm OR 7200rpm harddisk (if the mechanical noise isn't an issue) and 1GB of ram first and foremost.

Limitation is they're capped at 60GB (I'm using the original 5400 80GB as an external)

from the sounds of it... "it would be nice if i could bang some tunes instead of boring myself in the hotel!".... you're not going to be running a bunch of tracks from disk at all (unless you're tracking a band in that hotel room ). Likely, you'll be running more virtual tracks like softsynths with lots of plugins. In that case, I would focus your efforts on the fastest CPU and most RAM you can afford.
