As the others have stated, we're fully FS2002 and FS2004 compatible in Flight Rooms 1 & 4 respectively.

I'm running FS2004 on a 1.7 gHz Toshiba notebook and while I can't crank FS all the way up, it runs fine with slightly higher than the FS2k4 default settings. With the power and prices of notebooks today, for me it was a no-brainer to move away from a desktop machine altogether. What I do is connect a wireless mouse and keyboard into my notebook, and plug in to my desktop monitor and aside from the virtually silent operation, you'd never know you're on a laptop. With this type of setup, I get the best of both worlds for what a desktop machine used to cost.
The only suggestions I have is you need to make sure you get a laptop with a good 3D card and at least 512megs of RAM and you should be fine.
