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?

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.
