Do I need a fast FSB, fast spinning hard drive or something else?



I need a laptop with the following requirements:

1. I do not like waiting till the notebook finishes booting up. In
other words it has to be extremely fast in booting up. Additionally it
has to be very fast in shutting down again.
2. When moving smaller windows across the screen, they often freeze by
leaving 50 or so frames behind. I do not like that.
3. When using Windows Explorer or just clicking on folders I do not
like when the computers needs time to show the new folders/map (often
the moving flash light appears). I don't like that.

So, how can I avoid the following things mentioned above (because they
are really annoying to me)? How can I get rid of it? Do I need a CPU
speed? Do I need a fast spinning hard drive? Do I need a lot of RAM? Do
I need a high FSB speed? What about the RAM speed?

Besides the annoying things mentioned above, the computer will be used
for LaTeX, meaning compiling a lot of code and regular office
application. The laptop is NOT going to be used for gaming. The laptop
will both run Windows and Linux.

What specifications should I look for?
