I run FS9 extremely well on a 3-year-old laptop. Dell Latitude D810. 2GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, ATI X600, 100GB 7200rpm hard drive. Any laptop that beats those specs should technically be able to run FS9 better. I suspect a modern equivalent would run FSX extremely well too.
That said, skip the laptops if you are trying to keep the cost down. You can get more power for less in a desktop. Get the fastest dual-core AMD or Intel processor that you can budget. Skip the quad-cores. Get 2 - 4GB of RAM. Get a solid video card, which will require some shopping and research. If you buy a brand-name PC, you do not have to get your RAM or video card from them, and would likely be better off getting as little as they offer and installing your own.
