Laptop advice

Hello all,
I am considering a laptop for running all my Astronomy software and telescope (LX200R 12") rather than having all the cables and such like hanging out of the study window and would like to know what other members use in their configurations.
From the research I have done I think the following would be suitable:

2.4 - 2.6 Ghz CPU
30 - 40 Gb hard drive
Minimum 512Mb Ram
128Mb Video/Graphics card (also for a game of C&C while the clouds pass)
USB 2.0 ports

I would appreciate any advice from fellow members

All the best

Ric
