As far as graphics goes, you probably want to find
a laptop based on the Savage or SuperSavage line of
chips.  You'll need some patches to aux/vga, but that's
the most recent common chip that we handle well.

The IBM Thinkpad T21 and T23 are known to work, as
is the Toshiba Portege 3440CT, but they all have keyboard
erasers.

As much as I dislike the keyboard eraser (I always use
an external mouse if I have the room), at least on the
later Thinkpads you do get three buttons, which makes acme
much more pleasant when there's no room for an external
mouse.
