boostedpimp on here usually has an off lease IBM for sale. I picked up a T41 from him and like it a lot. (the battery was pretty used up when I got it, but thats the way it goes with old equipment)

Otherwise, just about anything will work. Just depends on the budget.

I use an Acer AspireOne. It has a 10.1" screen. Powerlogger barely fits in the window. If I had to do it again, I'd probably go for a slightly larger screen.

how does the software perform on that platform?

I have bought a couple of Dell laptops off ebay from this seller. Both have worked perfectly for a couple years now.

Software performs great. I'm running Windows XP however, and none of the new laptops come with it anymore.

That's why I recommended that company, you can get XP pro on them. Both of the laptops I got from them were like new and see the price is even lower than when I bought mine.

IBM thinkpads are the best for the money. They are built to last.

On their website, I only see Vista and Windows7 as the two choices for OS.

I have a 17 inch Acer refurb from tigerdirect with Windows 7 in it. Only cost me $400. Works great and is fast.

I bought my Acer new for $260 last year. $400 sounds a bit high for a refurb.
