Find anything above 1GHz and 256M memory and you are fine. And anything that has embedded wireless (Centrino) will absolutely work fine.

Definitely has to be at least Win98SE. My laptop had Win 98 and it wouldn't run so I upgraded it to Win2000Pro and all is good.

You can check eBay, there are hundreds and hundreds of laptops on there. But do not pay for any used model below 1GHz that is more than $300. Dell has run specials on new laptops for 450-500.

Late for work, didn't read all the replies..sorry.
If yer looking for a laptop for your shop/garage I would definatly reccomend the Panasonic Toughbook. Steel casing lets the thing drop from something crazy like 3 - 4 meters without damage. We use 'em in our shop and on service calls. If they can live thru the bar crowd (specially the "helpful" drunks "here let me hold this for...whoops sorry") they should take anything a garage is going to throw at 'em. We bought all of ours off EBay and I think they ran something like $300 a pop, maybe less.
