I understand you stated a 'new laptop' but you could save some money buying a used or refurbished off ebay. Such as a thinkpad.

if you want, you can do a $100 laptop with Linux and should do everything you are looking for.
there is a few guides on the wiki to tell you how to set up your p99.

You don't need even a decent video card to run this game but a laptop with integrated graphics is going to suffer if you ever do any raiding.
