There was a similar thread on TAPR_APRS group and many good suggestions were made. I had a similar need and bought a TOSHIBA TECRA A9-9019X (WIN XP PRO) about 6 weeks ago. I have noticed they are rapidly disappearing so others must like it too. I believe it has been out of production for about 8-9 months.

I am looking for a newer laptop but when I read the ads, I notice that serial and parallel ports are not listed. Are they not in use and if so, what is used instead to control the radios and rotators?
