I would mainly make sure you have enough RAM and an OS that can benefit
of the additional RAM. I would recommend at least 4GB RAM, better 8.
Linux 64bit should be able to use the additional RAM, the Win32 QGIS
cannot use more than 2 or 3GB. As far as I know there is no 64bit
Windows version available.
If you can afford the SSD it certainly helps. I have a new Macbook Pro
with a SSD running on Ubuntu 64bit. It is very fast, but expensive.

I take that Ubuntu runs well on both Nvidia and ATI. My experience
with Ubuntu PPC 9.04 and 10.04 on Apple's Powerbook G4 nvidia chips
(as compared to ATIs) is rather bad (choppy, buggy, slow and no 3d
acceleration).
I have an Asus, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 256MB, 115 GB SSD, 13" wide -
already 3 years old, only thing I've done is swap for the SSD
recently.
That's cool! I definitely wanna give a SSD a go.
Thanks mate for the pointers :)
