I'm also looking at either laptop or desktop and am in the fortunate position of being able to buy from Canada, USA or the UK.
The stats that Laufen zum Ziel mentions above can be found on laptops, but you'd be looking at paying around GBP1000 or US$2000 for one. I'm in a performance vs. portability quandry at the moment and, as I am looking for one specifically to play GWX 2.1, I'm also after one with a numpad. After a lot of research the best prices I could find were on amazon.co.uk, so if you're still looking then that would give you an idea of what standard of laptop you could get for your money. If you link through subsim (on the 'Quick Links' above) then I believe subsim gets a kick back from the sale although it doesn't cost you a penny extra. I know this works for books, games etc. but am not sure about higher end items.
If you're looking for a system and don't need the portability, go for the desktop every time as it will give you the flexibility to upgrade as you need to.
