The major intention for getting a laptop is the mobility and the ability to use it whereever you like. A quadcore and highspeed HDD in a laptop minimizes the battery-lifetime a lot, so the mobility converges to 0 (I got a tiny netbook with a 43WH battery, and even this one does not keep running for more than 2 hours, so this one wont last 20 minutes in battery-mode). I dont really see the point of buying a laptop then, as you could get a desktop pc for less than 1/2 of the price.
However it will be by far enough for samp, to answer your question.
