I suspect that almost any laptop you can buy nowadays will do the job
just fine. You are right to be most concerned about ram and disk. If
you also want to do work on the machine then i'd recommend using vm
for the db. This means you can isolate the machine that is running
oracle from the work image. I'd also for preference put the vm on an
external disk so that i have a portable collection of oracle installs.
For what it's worth i've been running oracle on various work machines
since the days when 8i was current.
