The only thing ypu need to worry about are a compatable network card and graphics card, the rest is up to you really and what you can afford to pay for memory, CPU etc etc...
I am sure there is a list of compatable cards on the Offensive Security website somewhere.
The laptop you have just now seems good enough, infact it's not too dissimilar from the setup I have... why don't you just buy a new network card for that laptop or even cheaper a USB Dongle?

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Yes it works and it seems to work well, i was just looking for a smaller ( on the road) laptop with wireless card injection capability and as good or better graphic card.
It seems that i have a good driver now for this wireless card to do injection.
I have not tested the cuda capability yet.
I've a higher spec XPS m1530 and have not run into any problems. Good laptop to run bt4 on.
I recently just got bt4 pre final up and running on my asus 1008ha and its super portable... Just thought I would toss my 2 cents in. All works out of the box.
But like others said, if what you have works stick with it (unless you are able to fort the bill for a new toy... nothing wrong with that).
i have an Asus EEEPC 1000HE accompanied with an AWUS036H. everything works out of the box including both nic cards. it's small, affordable, and includes the atom n280 processor as well as the 8hr battery life. they also have guides to mod an external antenna. i purchased this setup with the only intent of using backtrack.
acer aspire one a150.
only things which are pretty much worse then your current:
less ram (1 gb)
worse gfx card
no bluetooth
